From the transcript

Someone who cared about doing things the right way. Losing someone like that means losing more than just a decade of experience, relationships, and institutional knowledge. I don't blame either of them for leaving, but we should be asking why dedicated people are reaching a point where leaving feels like the best option. And this is not happening just at my school. This is— not just an intensive behavior classroom problem.
