My guess is the board is interested only in getting a good recommendation for their kids to go to next school - which is not done by making the school look bad. It is mind boggling why given the choice, any parent would enroll a sibling, or any new parent would enroll here. There were so many cultural issues already, and then this. No parent ever asked too many questions because they were focused on getting to the coveted next school. And frankly because the school was so popular, the school had enough power (demand) that it wasn’t worth questioning the (lack of) teaching, the quality of some of the teachers, or the disconnectedness (and frankly oddness) of the head of school (or any of his many administrators). I hve no idea but my guess is the new intake is tiny.

This is a dumb take. The school has lots of safeguards (eg, cameras in the stairwell), and NOTHING happened at the school. No one has made any allegation that any kid was mistreated.

Frankly, the risk was at Beauvoir because that was consistent with the age of the kids that he said online were his interest (gross!). But even there, there were no allegations against him at Beauvoir, even when his colleague was unveiled as a pedophile.

NCRC was not a bad or irresponsible actor here. There is nothing about the school that makes it riskier than any other school.

Sorry but yours is the dumb take. You honestly think there is no impact from an “elephant in the room” event like this on teacher hiring and retention (+ new head of school hiring?!), types of families enrolling, and existing parents questioning all the unsaid/unasked concerns they were too scared to raise in the past? What is more dumb is that given all the great options in DC, you would rush to enroll at a preschool that had a person like this in charge for so long. I also doubt he did anything at the school (and it likely all was online from what I’ve read) - but the thoughts in his head were all there for you to read in black and white - and they do not come across as one-off random thoughts. Culture starts at the top. I don’t understand how parents there wouldn’t be on edge every day.

My kids went to NCRC and I have friends with kids still there. All the teachers signed their contracts to teach at the school. The community is strong and you are wrong PP

It's all basically CYA. Visualize those monkeys with their hands around their ears, mouth and eyes.

I actually lol’d. When I saw the email about the results from the third party investigation in my inbox, I knew exactly what it would say before I even opened it. I was actually so incurious about what it said, that I waited hours to even read it.
