[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is up with all of you so desperately hoping that a nice school like Sandy Spring fails? I don’t get it.[/quote]

I was the PP and as I said, I hope I'm wrong.  I really want Sandy Spring to succeed.  That means doing this the hard, proven way. Get a great fundraiser as a head and invest in a solid advancement and communications team stocked with veterans. Get the best CFO to structure your debt, manage your endowment investments, and find new sources of auxiliary income. Build out your alumni program so that graduates will feel pride and be inspired to give back. Any money they gave this consultant would have been better spent on these investments.

A message for Sandy Spring donors:  Do you love your school?  There are no secret, magical institutional grantmakers out there who will give so that you don't have to.  They are busy saving PUBLIC schools.  Your school has to depend on your consistent, generous, and growing support.  So make a multi-year pledge.  Don't wait until the school is desperate again.

“Any money they gave this consultant would have been better spent on these investments.” - this is exactly the thought I had. How can they be throwing money at consultants right now? [/quote]
