[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is that they will give Shorbe (who will be the 7th HoS) a year or two to see if he can turn it around - if that’s convenient with the lease term.  The market is there, the brand is there (outside of McLean), many teachers are strong.  The problem as others have stated is the horrific management and the broken promises (or flat out lies for the more cynical) combined with the lack of strong community/culture have led to massive student and faculty/staff turnover.[/quote]

The wording of the press release suggests that Shorbe will be the HoS "for the 2021-22 school year". BINS is always extremely careful with their wording on things like this, which tells me that the mutual agreement is for him to attempt to stabilize the situation for one year while they (again) look for a permanent solution.[/quote]

If you were a parent at the school and attended a meeting with Mr. Shorbe you would know that your assumptions are incorrect.  As a parent at the school, I have been in several meeting with Mr. Shrobe and he has very plainly explained that one of the reasons he's taking this job is because he has children that he has been moving around with as he has been taking on schools inside the Basis network and he is looking to provide some long term stability for his family.   Every current parent that I have talked to has been very pleased with what we have learned about him in the meetings this school year and we are all very excited for him to join us soon.   Keep your negativity to yourself to take it to your current school, please. [/quote]

You must be new. They all say why they plan to stay or meet their term. Until they don’t.[/quote]

PP and no, not new at all.  [/quote]

Sounds a bit naive. Or purposely burying head in the sand. I think they all initially have good intentions, then something happens.[/quote]
