[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ED needs to do the right thing and resign. If he had any integrity or concern about the welfare of the school he would understand that he is too polarizing a figure to lead competently. The board needs to help him do this in a way that reduces the tension that is impacting every group in the school community. This incredible school needs healing. [/quote]

Rosskamm and Pardo are hell bent on destroying the school and making as much money off of it while they do so. Everyone is asking him to resign and he's digging in. [/quote]

How are they making money off DCI?[/quote]

Rosskamm is paid almost $300k in total compensation. That's exponentially more than Mary Shaffner, the woman who founded DCI and built it from zero to a Tier 1 school. She never took a bonus. He took $56,500 in bonus and incentive pay in the same year the school structured aide raises to be effectively worthless. And then he hired his wife as a consultant at DCI.

And Pardo was a partner at TenSquare, the firm at the center of DC's biggest charter school governance scandal. [/quote]

I can see why it's hard for some to understand and take all of the concerns seriously -- though I do agree there are real concerns that need to be addressed. Claiming that two individuals are intent on destroying the school and making as much money as possible off of it but then giving no real evidence of this -- just undermines the real concerns that must be addressed. Is there evidence that Pardo is making money off DCI? As far as the EDs salaries, the difference seems to be 15-20% - higher, yes, but not clear that it's unreasonably higher.[/quote]
