[quote=Anonymous]The most logical solution to all of this controversy would have been to include parents in the hiring of the new chaplain.  When we hired Father Tim, Mr. Duncan set up a faculty committee and a parent committee to assist with the process.  Father Tim interviewed with both committees and both made recommendations to Mr. Duncan, which was unanimous in Father Tim's case.  I don't understand why that process wasn't followed again this time.  Parental concerns about hiring a non-ordained person could have been addressed at that time.  Instead, Father Tim announced in April that he was not returning, and the current head and administrators just hired someone and announced it at the end of the school year with no parent input.  Friends who are are connected with St. Andrews and NCS have told me that parent committees were involved in both schools when they hired their new chaplains this year, but that was not the case at WES.  Unfortunately, this new head and the current administrators, though very nice, are making assumptions about what parents want without actually asking them.  If all of the current administrators and head are indeed not Episcopalian as has been suggested, then it would have mad even more sense to include parents.  I certainly hope the board conducted an exit interview Father Tim left.[/quote]
