[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

This is 100% part of the problem. - Long time NCRC parent [/quote]

Our school doesn't allow parents on the board until their last kid graduates.[/quote]
This is how it should be.[/quote]

Do you think there is a huge pool of qualified, motivated people dying to be on the Board of a private preschool?  Many of the people on the NCRC board are parents of recent graduates, but it's not crazy that there are current parents too.  Also, contrary to what a poster said above, there is FA representation (it just may not be obvious because who knows whom is on FA).  Ane just because many are parents doesn't make them unqualified -- they bring financial, legal, HR, etc. skills.

Some people on the board even have backgrounds in education (again in contrast to what was said above), but it is not the role of the Board to run the school.  Their primary job is to hire and fire the head, which is the person that needs the education expertise.
