An investigation into the new Healdsburg High School Principal Amy Jones-Kerr found no concerns that she fostered a toxic or unsafe environment as superintendent of Roseland Public Schools. It all stemmed from a social media thread started by a Roseland University Prep graduate asking for students and alumni of the district to share their experiences of bullying, harassment, racism and other discriminatory behaviors by staff. The then superintendent Jones-Kerr’s name was mentioned a few times, alleging that she mishandled oversight of staff who were accused of more serious offenses. However, after hiring an investigator, the Healdsburg Unified School District said that they found “absolutely nothing” inappropriate during Jones-Kerr’s time as Roseland Public Schools superintendent. Jones-Kerr resigned as superintendent last November and became Healdsburg High School Principal in July.
