[quote=Anonymous]I'm sympathetic.  The school has been in crisis, and lots of poor decisions happen out of desperation.  It was the job of the HoS, CFO, and Advancement director to gate keep this bad idea from ever seeing the light of day.

I did not want to post anything I've written on this thread.  Because, even though I've never set foot on the campus and don't know any of the administration, I love what I've heard about Sandy Spring.  I'm sure that the classroom instruction is wonderful and the community is caring.

For the sake of the students and faculty, the administration needs to get their act together.  Seriously, now.  Don't you belong to CASE, NAIS, and AISGW?   You're already paying for access to good advice on how to run a school.

My advice is to nullify that agreement forthwith, redirect the money to staff up in advancement (not just one veteran but a team), and ask every family to make a multi-year annual fund commitment to provide some stability during the rebuilding of a major gift program. They should want to do this if they're currently enrolled -- because broad participation in that kind of campaign reassures them that the school will exist long enough for their children to graduate.
