[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is certainly blame enough to go around, but could the PCSB have screwed this up more if they tried?

- PCSB staff missed obvious red flags over a period of YEARS.

- PCSB board approved school for another 5 years despite red flags.

- PCSB board approved financial corrective action plan in July, allowing the school to continue operating, and urged the school to explore a merger

- Eagle board chair brought merger proposal and told PCSB board that they would not make it through the year if the merger was not approved.

- PCSB board voted against the merger they encouraged, leaving the school with no choice but to close only 3 days before students and teachers were set to start the year. PCSB board acts surprised that school decided to close.

Am I missing something?

Shameful![/quote]

It's maddening. The PCSB staff encouraged exploration of a merger, and then the board said it was allowing the school to decide its own fate. Which I don't understand, it's ultimately up to the board to decide. [/quote]
