[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]Maret board told who to vote for. The HOS and Board chair had already decided. [/quote][/b]

OP here- while I am mainly interested in hearing about how schools have transitioned to a new Head and how the process went, I have to chime in that this sounds crazy. I somehow highly doubt Marjo Talbott would have voted for the candidate who ultimately got the job- in fact, it almost seems like the board chose him because he is nothing like her. As for the board chair, certainly a nice person but power hungry? Another bizmare allegation.

Maret used to be a fringe school, sort of artsy- at least when Strutevant was in charge- loads of debt, some really bad teachers. Marjo Talbott might not be the friendliest, but she really put Maret on the map and brought it to where it is. While I think she should have retired a while ago, I respect the work she did for the school.

Maret was founded by three women- I personally am sad the position did not go to a female, since few of the co-ed schools in this area are headed by women.  Just so very disappointed in the whole process and certainly with the ultimate selection. [/quote]
