[quote=Anonymous]This was the part I found a bit cryptic/suggestive...

We recognized that one of the clearest expressions of our Quaker values is how we show up in communication. That we are consistent, and therefore reliable, in good times as well as when we face challenges. The Committee  brings together trustees, parents, alumni, administrators, and community experts precisely because we wanted the Committee’s work to reflect the full breadth of our community.

What we have landed on, together, is this: we will communicate openly, trusting that our community will benefit from having the best information we can provide. Operating a school can be a bit of a roller coaster ride, and we don’t all have to be in the front seat with our arms up.  At the same time, we know that the School’s health and future rely on having earned your trust. The instinct to protect is strong, and [i]the temptation to wait to deliver updates in the hopes that tomorrow will bring a better result can be tempting[/i].  But this is not the communications that we wish to model, nor do we think it will serve us well over the longer term. We prefer to practice what the Quakers call “plain speech”; it means exactly what it sounds like. The Board is committed to offering the visibility and transparency that it expects with a “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” attitude. With care for timing and context, Sandy Spring Friends School is stronger when its community has the information it needs and isn't left to fill the silence on its own. [/quote]
