Almost two months after announcing her resignation, soon-to-be former Palo Alto High School Principal Kim Diorio met with Verde Magazine for an exclusive interview last week. In the following installment, the first of three, Diorio divulges on stress and suicide in the PAUSD district. 

In the next issue of Verde, which will be distributed on May 24 and at graduation, her perspective will join those of past and present administrators in an exploration of whether PAUSD has a “hire-and-fire” culture and whether we can improve high administrator turnover rates. But why wait until graduation day?
