"The school also wanted the Khabeles to repay rent overages, property taxes, capital improvement expenditures and personal expenses the school said the couple made." The upheaval began when the leadership of the newly merged schools began questioning the Khabele's financial decisions. Expenditures in question were the Khabele's nanny's salary, and private travel, which it was claimed was paid for by the school directly. The board treasurer was also named in the suit for allegedly covering up the Khabele's alleged theft. In 2014, "Khotso" Khabele founded Khabele + Strong Incubator [School] (now KoSchool) which The Khabele School stated in their lawsuit was confusing and damaging to the original school. The lawsuit was eventually settled by both parties. Ted Graf became the head of school in July 2015. Its new name was effective 2016. Graf, the principal, stated that the school was planning to get a new name since the merger as it needed to solidify its identity. In regards to the new name Graf stated "We felt like Headwaters, metaphorically, was this notion that educational journeys of the self begin at this primal spot, and we felt like Headwaters and all the imagery and language that comes with it really expresses what we’re trying to do as a school."
