We’ve had 3 staff quit our team of 10. Now the principal is having interviews with the whole team to figure out why people are leaving. Any pros to being honest and letting him know one of our managers is toxic/ slightly abusive and nobody wants to work for her

My plan is to play stupid and say nothing . Would anyone disagree with this approach?

They have to already know this. So I’m under the illusion the interviews are just HR / we care about you took blah blah blah

Seems like the pro would be that toxic and abusive behavior could get recognized and addresses before a fourth person quits.
Also if you don’t say anything and the behavior gets worse, it’ll be harder for you to make a case.
If they already know this then you make yourself untrustworthy by playing dumb.
Have the courage to be honest. Be fair and factual. Don’t play dumb.

Agreed, don't lie and be transparent but factual. Use documentation if possible.
