[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BOE is clearly behind Taylor in pushing the regional model. Paying them more stipend or changing to full-time job wouldn’t resolve the issue at all.[/quote]

It's not the whole BOE. But I'm guessing it's Brenda, Karla, Grace and Julie? Cause Rita, Natalie and Laura are new. And Rita and Laura seem like they might be skeptical or open to the skepticism.[/quote]

Natalie has, unfortunately, shown she is far too willing to toe the line.  Laura is too tentative.  Rita doesn't have friends on the board.

Of the other four, Grace is the only one I see as willing to challenge, but not broadly enough.  Julie, as President, has shown herself to be complicit in her management of the meetings.  Karla, too, though less clearly so, when she was President, and pretty much for the entire time after her first year on the board.[/quote]

I think every single one of them is skeptical of this plan except Brenda who is literally a rubber stamp and Karla who is disengaged. Grace thinks families don’t want to travel far, which is true. Laura knows the value of the existing programs. Rita knows this is being rammed through despite lots of community objections. Julie thinks the central office staff have definitely not done their hw or provided enough data on costs. Natalie thinks they are naive and cavalier about staffing all these programs. The student member thinks students will not be interested in watered down programs. They have collective concern and could actually demand a change of course. [/quote]

They all hired Taylor. They already made their choice.[/quote]

Only half of them hired Taylor.[/quote]
