YOU HAD ONLY THREE JOBS!!!

Care: Board members must take care in the organization and actively participate, performing important duties such as attending board meetings, providing strategic direction, and providing management oversight. Part of this duty is becoming educated on the nonprofit and the appropriate industry. - FAIL

Loyalty: This duty means that the board member should not use the position to further a personal or professional agenda. The board member is there to solely operate in the interest of the nonprofit—nothing else. Board members should avoid conflicts of interest to this effect, and be diligent about reporting perceived or potential conflicts of interest so that the board member’s loyalty to the nonprofit remains above suspicion. - FAIL

Obedience: Finally, there is the duty of obedience, in which board members must always stay knowledgeable regarding how local, state, and federal laws and regulations apply to the nonprofit and to themselves as board members. For example, the IRS is a federal agency and as such they issue their own set of regulations. It may not be the most entertaining or rewarding part of board service, but the board member is responsible for having an extensive knowledge of by-laws and other governing rules and regulations. Board members should never act outside the scope of the nonprofit’s legal documents, and board members should keep each other in check on this very important duty. - FAIL

YOU MAY WELL BE SUCCESSFUL IN YOUR BUSINESSES, BUT YOU HAVE FAILED MISERABLY IN YOUR BASIC FIDCIARY DUTIES. YOU FAILED THE CHILDREN, TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS AND PARENTS WHO RELIED ON THE BOARD TO PROTECT THE FINANCES, REPUTATION, MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE WE ENTRUST WITH LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN. FOR 10 YEARS, YOU LET THIS PREDATOR WALK AMONG OUT FAMILIES AND ROB US BLIND. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU - AND SHAME ON US FOR TRUSTING YOU AND BELEIVING YOU WERE UP TO THE JOB.

Will you be sharing this with them?

This is a sh*t school. Even before this.

The STEM building is really just an empty shell with no STEM program inside. At the opening ceremony, Boarman gaffed when he said the "E" stands for entrepreneurship. He never intended to boost academics -- the building is smoke and mirrors. There was very high turn-over of teachers in the science and math departments. Upon closer look, the labs are nothing better than a 1960s college science lab. Boarman loved to brag about spending over a million dollars on furniture alone for that building. It looked like a furniture showroom threw up all over it. He put the GC in charge of furniture selection, and they took trips on the private jet to the showroom in Michigan. Students used those cozy study nooks on the 2nd floor for watching Netflix. It's a shame they mixed Kindergartners in the same building with 12th graders. More than a few lower schoolers had quite a fright using the restroom where the upper schoolers were vaping. The new "1930 Grill" further divided a student body already struggling with diversity based on SES. Those with means paid to eat in the new building, while everyone else dined for free in the cafeteria. Consequences of some very poor planning.

Can anyone provide an example of a high school that has built a genuinely amazing and functional STEM expansion? I think all of the "STEM" buildings I've seen at day schools are just normal building/wing expansions with a buzzword attached to it to gin up families and donors.

This is a funner turn of topics. Yes, this was a great movie. As is literally every movie starring Hugh Jackman.

+1 great COVID movie!

The article confirms many things we heard from friends after we left the school, though we did not know about the affair until reading the article. It seemed a lovely school when we started there, and there are lots of nice people there, but the administration from Boarman down were just asinine.

Not exactly an academic powerhouse but meh, I suppose it's an athlete mill.

Bullis is certainly no mill for athletes nor even a powerhouse in any sport except maybe Lacrosse

Give me a break- no private school is as competitive as a Big Public HS- and recruiters know it

Private schools are where small NE LAC schools go to troll for Full Pay/ Development cases who they recruit as " Athletes", but who would play only Inter-mural level at any NCAA D1 School

They are " recruited" to flatter their parents into going ED- so that the school can plan its budget by December- of of the Full pay + some donor money from those families on down the road

There may- once in a blue moon - a great talent at a small Private School in DC Area, but for most part those kids parents would want them to be show cased in a big competitive HS league- and that is not the MAC or the IAC- LOL...

Bullis had 2 alums drafted in this year's NFL draft. Did your school?

They send players B10, ACC, SEC. But ok...

I didn't read every post on here, but I haven't seen much attention paid to the fact that Bullis paid Nazareth an exit package worth over $600,000.

That seems like an enormous package for a non-profit school. There definitely must be a lot more to this story if they were willing to pay her that much to leave.

"A few days after the investigation started, records show, Nazareth filed a hostile-workplace complaint against Fink. She left Bullis in August 2018, according to a copy of her severance agreement, which shows Bullis gave her a package worth more than $600,000 in severance, leave and other benefits."
