Mr. Aderhold, I did not respect you in the past, but I never imagined you would stoop to such a low level. At this point, very little about your behavior shocks me anymore. Using a published book to publicly mock, target, or portray a parent from your own school community — especially one whose children attend the district you lead — is deeply disturbing and profoundly unprofessional. What is even more troubling is the apparent pride taken in turning a personal conflict into material for public consumption. Parents have every right to question leadership, attend board meetings, voice concerns, and advocate for their children without fear of becoming the subject of ridicule or retaliation. The excerpts from your book do not reflect the conduct, maturity, or professionalism expected from someone in your position. What should have remained a matter of respectful disagreement appears to have been transformed into a personal narrative designed to demean and discredit a member of the community you were entrusted to serve. Frankly, it says far more about your character than it ever could about the parent you chose to describe.
Based on these pages, the book appears to directly describe a real conflict involving a parent in the school community and ties that conflict to the “Octopus” concept. The language is not subtle — it references: •	a “disgruntled parent” •	public meetings •	COVID-era sessions •	social media posts •	“blustery emails” •	an image titled “Aderhold, the Octopus” That creates a strong implication that the author is referencing a specific identifiable person, especially if people in the district already know the history behind those events. What makes this potentially problematic is not simply that a superintendent or administrator wrote a leadership book. It’s that the book appears to: •	use an ongoing community dispute as source material, •	portray a parent in a negative light, •	frame criticism of district leadership as harassment or obsession, •	and monetize or publicly memorialize the conflict in published form. For many parents, raises concerns about: •	professionalism, •	retaliation culture, •	treatment of dissenting parents, •	ethics in educational leadership, •	and whether community members are being mocked instead of heard. The phrase “My motivation… was born from a very public conflict” is especially notable because it openly states that the conflict with this parent inspired the book’s framework. The passage also risks making the parent identifiable even without naming them directly if: •	community members already know the dispute, •	board meeting attendance was public, •	or the “Aderhold, the Octopus” image was circulated locally. In defamation/privacy discussions, identification does not always require a name if reasonable people can determine who is being discussed. Although public officials generally do have broad First Amendment protections to discuss criticism, leadership challenges, and public experiences in memoir or commentary-style works. Whether something crosses an ethical or legal line depends heavily on: •	whether the parent is identifiable, which he is •	whether statements are factual vs opinion, •	whether details are exaggerated or false, •	and whether the conduct could be viewed as retaliatory or intimidating. From a school-community standpoint, though, many people would likely see this as inappropriate because it blurs the line between: •	educational leadership, •	personal grievance, •	and public criticism of a parent whose children attend the district. The tone of the excerpt reads less like a neutral leadership case study and more like a personal narrative about an adversarial parent relationship.
