[quote=Anonymous]The PA couldn't just hire an ethnic Chinese administrator. I think maybe your husband misunderstood the purpose of parent organization. It isn't like a public school's LSRT/advisory board that actually has input on staffing and resource allocations. Perhaps he received a cold reception at the PA meeting because it is a topic that has been discussed over and over and over again. It is a thorn in the side of everyone at YY that the head of school is AA and non-Chinese. But another aspect of the problem is that there have never been any strong native-speaking candidates for leadership roles. The complexities of navigating the system in DC are just so nuanced and difficult that I personally wouldn't want that entrusted to anyone who didn't have a great deal of experience with the AA community, DC and the politics of a charter. So an AA admin isn't ideal for the Chinese community, but that is just one piece of a big puzzle.[/quote]
