[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone told me the Trustees are on the cusp of doing something major.  Not sure if it's a personnel change or what that means...[/quote]

Sounds like a rumor that gets spread every few years.  Please elaborate if you have info though![/quote]

Lots of Board dissension. People quitting before term over. Website keeps their names up. Even when their girls have transferred out of the school. Annual fund is so sad. No one wants to donate and parents get super annoyed. Poor financial decisions have to authorize dipping into endowment. Need major overhaul of reputation on all things non-academic.[/quote]

Ok, so this person is fake.  Holton fund participation was up significantly as compared to last year.  Parents have generally been very pleased with how hard the school worked to get kids back on campus, and provided transparency around it.  Have heard nothing about “poor financial decisions” or dipping into endowment, but costs have been hirer than normal because of all of the gear and effort to get kids back on campus.  Ignore people like this who say vague things without any backup.  Also - major haul on reputation?  What does that even mean?  We are very happy.  We have had concerns from time-to-time as with any school and have always been met with grace and willingness to discuss and hear our concerns and address them.  It may not be the right place for everyone and that’s ok but the random trashing of a school by people who clearly don’t have kids there is suspect at best.  See for yourself and otherwise be sure that everyone has an angle/motive (heck, even I do as a parent there).[/quote]
