Comms DirectorV3 would be wise to resist the urge to encourage sycophants to vilify posters and bemoan the existence of a chat board that’s been around DECADES. The problem isn’t this medium. It’s the message and the messenger.
It’s been 11 weeks since attendees to the black family affinity meeting were promised followup to their earnest and thoughtful questions and concerns. Individual emails from these and other concerned families have fallen on deaf ears since Feb 12. Meetings with affinity group leaders have been rebuffed, delayed and indefinitely cancelled. And in that time, 2 more senior and well-regarded administrators have resigned. Another comms director has left. All graduating Teaching Fellows have decided to take the fruits of their Holton-funded training to competitor schools. And though it pains them to leave a community they’ve dedicated their time and talent to, countless more teachers and staff are dusting off their resumes. And the deafening silence from the board grows louder with each passing week.
Here’s an article that took me 11 seconds to google on how to manage constituent complaints in the digital age. Catch up and do better.
