[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When the next HOS comes in next fall, there will be a whole new wave of slogans and promises about turning the corner to a bright future. Though they still have the albatross of the multimillion-dollar lease on the half of the building that they don't use, don't need, and can't afford to build out like they originally promised. That's the 600-pound gorilla sitting over any HOS at BIM.

Just like the first four HOS burnouts.  Good luck banking on anything really changing there.[/quote]

It is a PE firm....the goal is cut all costs to make the balance sheet look great when you exit. Maybe the CEO was not actually replaced...they just banked the money? No good educator with options will work there. Badly managed. When you go for your next job interview working at Basis McLean will be a problem you have to explain. Why would any manager who is even just ok put up with the chaos and orders from Basis leaders who never have to talk to parents. At least the old CEO would meet us. The Heads leave because they take all the heat. That simple people. Heads are like the rest of us...they leave to escape the boss. The only question parents and teachers and the new head should be asking the PE firm is how much do they plan to invest in the school beyond what they have to add to operating expenses to cover the rent and low enrollment that just keeps the doors open. How do they plan to invest to grow the school in size and quality? Does anyone have any doubts on the answer? If the new head comes in and just talks without telling teachers and parents what the plan is and how much is going to be spent...nothing will change. [/quote]

The outgoing HOS tried very hard to create a strategic vision/goal/plan during his tenure, but it never seemed to amount to much beyond a mascot and a school anthem. Whatever the vision is for BIM, it is hidden in the corporate managers' files along with all the other relevant info about the school. They don't even disclose their annual enrollment to outsiders.[/quote]
