If you don't feel they are a good fit personality-wise for your program, push the principal to let them go. Personality swings like this can lead to bigger issues down the road such as kids quitting and upset parents. My guess (based on what you said) is that this AD is unhappy in the position and feels they should be an HD and even feel upset that someone younger than they is above them. They are in the first year at your school so they are on a probationary contract and no reason or documentation is needed to non-renew them. BTW, as an HD myself, if my AD ever blown up at me or went around my decisions they would have their days numbered. If they got into screaming matches with kids or parents they would not be allowed back in the band hall. I have no problem with professional discourse, but my decision (good or bad) is final. I will not allow disrespect to be shown towards the band students or their parents.
