[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Finish out their board term so they look like a responsible board member as they look to join other boards?[/quote]

Thoughtful response.  Seems plausible, and much better than PP's innuendo.  And it's certainly not "cheek".[/quote]

I’m a board member at a DC area private - I have seen this happen a few times over the past few years and the board member in question is always expected to resign their position. It is perfectly acceptable for any school not to be a fit with someone’s child however, for the parent to remain on the old school’s board just feels.......a bit wrong, particularly if strategic decisions are being made that could impact the future of the school. Just my view, I do know that, if my kids left for a competitor, I just wouldn’t feel right staying on the board. Just my view.[/quote]

Im 16:50 above and I agree with you. [/quote]

Ok. So what are you inferring, if anything about the school, because the parent remained on the Board?  One PP suggested that meant the parent was cheeky.  Anothe PP suggested the school was no good because a board member removed their kid.  I don’t really buy either inference, especially the latter one.  Thoughts?[/quote]
