The head of an elite Manhattan private school in the throes of an internal war over its progressive agenda is leaving at the end of the year. Dalton School chief Jim Best announced his exit in a Friday letter and said he was leaving to pursue "other exciting and inspiring opportunities" after 16 years at the helm. Considered one of the city’s most exclusive academic bastions, Dalton counts Anderson Cooper and Chevy Chase as graduates. In his Friday note, Best listed some of his most notable achievements at the 89th Street K-12 school. I want the best for Dalton, because I want the best for you."
