[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I don’t particularly care about the traffic issue, the notion that school made a deal with the community and then [b]brazenly violated the deal is outrageous[/b]. This is exacerbated by the outwardly facing raison d’etre of the school.  Either it was an honest mistake (which, candidly, seems nearly impossible and signals total incompetence if true) or was permitted by the HoS and/or board (which is outrageous).

That’s the issue. It’s teaching kids that a deal is a deal and that they have to keep their word - not just the cars on Wisconsin. [/quote]

What exactly is the "brazen violation"? There is none. Read the MOU before you spout false assertions.[/quote]

Well, the HoS open admitted that they over-enrolled. Is that not correct? And is that not a brazen violation? [/quote]]
I would not call that a "brazen violation." That is an unexpected consequence of COVID--admissions yields were totally unpredictable for any private school from elementary all the way up to colleges and universities. Anyone who is at all familiar with school admissions can testify that this has been the case since 2020 with the start of the pandemic.
The HOS admitted in the video that they dropped the ball on submitting a report about the over-enrollment and submitted it late, and moreover said that the school was going to reduce admissions acceptances this year to compensate, which makes sense because admissions yields are becoming more predictable now that COVID seems to be more or less behind us. Give GDS a fine for a late filing. Do not blow this up into deranged arguments about the HOS urging parents to commit fraud.[/quote]

You make it seems as if it happen outside of their control.  They chose to issue acceptances and improperly managed their yield.  We have had at least two full admission cycles since COVID for them to correct the problem (that never should have happened to begin with).  They chose not to until they got caught.

Again, I don’t care about the traffic but the hypocrisy on “doing the right thing” (which, by the way, I support 100%) is almost comic. As the same time that they are teaching kids important lessons on equity, they are exerting outrageous privilege essentially saying to their host community “yeah, you caught us, we did it and what are you gonna do about it.”[/quote]
