Lot's of DC area Privates engaging in degrees of this:

Look for the telltale: new HOS comes in and fires HR, Finance staff and hires their own legal counsel- people they work with previously- many of whom may not bring their license to the State

Facilities companies that over bill and have shell companies under them that over bill- and under deliver on contract

Fund raise, schmooze and keep any accreditation failures or failures to file 990's under wraps

It’s pathetic, that’s for sure.

I, for one, think it's hilarious!

We had just moved to the area, and our older kids were at another independent school. The culture at Bullis was all about appearances and ostentation. The backbiting and drama among parent cliques made us cringe (and we were coming from LA). Boarman was obviously motivated more by self-interest than educational vision or concern for the students. We were so glad to get out of there.

How could there be any ostentation at Bullis ? It looks like a public school

Was anyone changing grades to get certain students into coveted colleges there ?

I mean, Beauvoir employed a pedophile who became #1 on the FBI's Most Wanted list and it hasn't hurt them any.

Well, yeah that was a bad hire by B and weak on boundary issues/ school policies on tutoring etc...

But as soon as Bin Laden was nailed, guess who took his spot on the FBI Top 10 list

If your a Pedo, wrong school to choose is one where the Deputy Head of FBI is a parent

Same here.

Well, this is pretty juicy, but is there any criminal liability?

Exactly. If I were a parent at that school I would demand that every board member that allowed this resign. Where were the financial controls? They need to have an independent audit to determine what is going on and put financial controls in place otherwise no parents should make any donations to this financial cesspool.

Talk about incompetence.

That sounds like a logical approach, but I imagine that many parents will want to bury their heads in the sand and act as if it’s not a problem, at least not anymore. They have a lot at stake with the school’s reputation, especially parents of juniors and seniors who will not be switching to other schools at this point.

Then there’s the parent that was proudly wearing her Bullis sweatshirt at the demonstration to force Hogan to let private schools open. It gave me the impression of a parent putting their own interests above the interests of the community, and wearing the school shirt She seemed like she was rah-rah Bullis.

Umm... the WAPO article exposes in widely read media-grade switching on transcripts- parents of HS Jr or rising seniors need to transfer our before applying to college

just look at what happened to the TM Landry kids

how bout the Canadian football QB who showed up at Bullis last August, he lives with a Bullis board member.

The leadership from the board is disgusting, its deeper than the current chairman of the board.

How bout him. Will be playing for Penn State. Impressive.

Probably not a cup half empty kid like the majority of the people on here are. Just a guess.

Agree that things will not change anytime soon. The same Board means the same policies. The biggest pet peeve I have is the recruiting and admitting students in 11th and 12th grade because of a SPORT. They need to get rid of ALL coaches that are not teaching at the school. Why does the school pay for outside coaches? It is all really disgusting and I'm angry that I'm a full pay.

The schools values were truly shown when the head football kept his job last summer after allegations of domestic assault.

That is a ridiculous post. Re read what you just wrote. Sure hope you're not the subject of unfounded allegations.

Unless you are the coach ornhisnwofe you don't know the truth. But the police arrested him. According to the news coverage, they had a reason to do so.
