Director of Human Resources Lisa Hickey (left), Deputy Superintendent Karen Hendricks, and Associate Superintendent Sharon Ofek speak with students at the Needs Assessment meeting on Tuesday in the Media Arts Center. Students brought up what they wanted in a new Paly principal, including one-on-one connection between students and administration, and improving student wellness. Hendricks said the Needs Assessment meetings are instrumental to gain community insight on the principal search. “This gathering of thinking is an extremely important part of the recruiting and hiring process,” Hendricks said.

A Paly senior examines one of Golden-Globe winning Paly alumnus James Franco’s paintings displayed in the Media Arts Center. Palo Alto Unified School District Interim Supt. Karen Hendricks announced earlier today that administrators will remove Franco’s paintings from the MAC, just days after hiring workers to paint over his mural on the Student Center. “Related to this [the removal of Franco’s first mural in 2016], district staff recently considered the best interests of our students in the light of our educational mission, and decided to remove and return the remaining artwork,” Hendricks wrote.

Paly students pass under one of Golden-Globe winning Paly alumnus James Franco’s paintings displayed above a stairwell in the Media Arts Center. After five separate allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct arose against Franco last week, students and parents are concerned whether his artwork has a place on campus. “I don’t want to overreact and I want to be very thoughtful,” said Principal Kim Diorio. “At the end of the day we need to make sure our school is safe for all students.” Photo: Sophia Muys.
