To be really honest, you are just not what he is looking for.
As the HOD rotation is due to start, schools can have two HODs for the same portfolio. The worst-case scenario is that he will promote someone to your post and start transferring your responsibilities and portfolio to the new person. You will be a powerless HOD. If you insist on staying, they may ask the cluster sup to do a swap.
It happened to my friend in a JC. But the P was less polite about it. He chose to exit gracefully. And his current posting was not that bad.
I have learned that P can make KP life really miserable if he/she chooses to. The system is designed to suit public service. We are replaceable. In the eyes of directors and sups, Ps can also be easily replaced.
If I were you, I would tell the P that I would be looking for opportunities in other schools and leave. If you hang on, things can get unpleasant and ugly. You will be the one who feels burnt (and burnt out).
