[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An institution can’t move forward in a situation like this without examining, investigating, etc. That’s just a fact—whether it’s a school, a corporation, a govt agency. I’m the poster who has repeatedly said that the (perceived) power JC wielded with parents vis-à-vis getting kids into kindergarten was a bad thing. Don’t forget, the board at NCRC is always made up largely of current parents…parents who saw JC as their ticket to a great kindergarten. This power imbalance (or perceived power imbalance) with the HOS should not be replicated as the school moves forward.  [/quote]

Agree with all of this. I felt like I had to shut my mouth when it came to having any issue with anyone at NCRC for fear that it would prevent my child from getting into private K. Everyone kisses up and never rocks the boat. I mean a few do but the majority stay quiet and smile and nod. It was so odd being at that school.

The board needs to take a hard look in the mirror and what the members bring to the table. Also interesting that if you are an FA family, you will never be on the board. When we were at NCRC, not one member of the board besides JC had experience working with children. Everyone on the board was rich, worked in real estate, law, finance or SAHM or SAHD. How about filling the board with some people that actually work in education?[/quote]

Sounds like you are not familiar with the responsibilities of boards vs HOS and other admin at independent schools. In any event, the NCRC board had several members with deep experience in private, public, and charter school education when my kids were at NCRC.
