[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I, too, am not a fan of the former Head of Operations who is now acting HOS and started as a receptionist. She came in with little experience- a narrow black and white thinker unable to see the whole broad picture. Basis needs to get someone competent to put in her place. She is a dominant, scary individual because she thinks so high of herself and is not aware of her massive deficiencies.[/quote]

The interim HOS is still the Head of Operations and works closely with the incoming HOS (who is finishing his contract at a school in china) to fill in the gap until he arrives in June.  As Head of Operations I'm sure she has to deal with unpleasant financial and HR issues that will undoubtedly make her unpopular.  Anyone with some common sense can see the previous post is from a disgruntled employee. [/quote]

Funny how most former employees at BIM leave disgruntled, fed up with management and/or laid off due to budget cuts.

Backstopping an unqualified interim with someone on the other side of the world (drastically different time zones) is a sad but typical BIM solution to a problem rather than spend money on it.[/quote]

Is that a fact? Can you provide concrete examples? How many of the employees leave disgruntled or by budget cuts?  Do you know how often the interim HOS and the incoming HOS communicate and how?  YOur comment seems like a lot of smoke with zero backings. [/quote]

The middle school drama teacher quit suddenly in spring 2019 and a top-notch AP Lang teacher left in disgust at the end of that year to go back to FCPS.  A computer science teacher also left angry that June.  An incoming CS teacher didn't even get through orientation in fall 2019.  His replacement was a fresh grad out of college.

An economics/math teacher left in spring 2020 midyear, then a middle school geography teacher was laid off at the last minute in June after promises of a fall position.  In October 2020, the middle school dean (the #2) and an admissions officer were suddenly laid off.  Their positions weren't filled.

Shall I go on? Oh yes, the HOS quit suddenly after Christmas break, when his contract went through June.  He was frustrated with management's lack of interest in his ideas for the school.

Now someone in China is in charge.  Great.  Anyone who has tried to do business with people 12-13 hours away knows how hard that it.  Not a good choice.

There are your "backings" if you insist on using such a weird term.[/quote]

Can you share how you got all of this information or provide sources? [/quote]

It's direct knowledge.  Beyond that, I will not out myself.  Many people associated with the school in this timeframe know all this, hundreds if you count parents and students.[/quote]
