[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t the President of the Board Penny’s biggest cheerleader? Didn’t she feel very strongly about drastic change at Holton which is why she didn’t enroll her own daughters there as soon as they were of age?

It doesn’t seem like she would be in favor of ousting the change that she championed.

I could have incorrect information, but lots of PPs say the the board should do something, but it might be that the board is pleased with these changes. [/quote]

That's the point...if faculty were to meet and later air their grievances, they could do things that would awaken the Board to pay serious attention to their concerns.  They could issue a public vote of "no confidence."  They could vote to unionize (now THAT would get the Board's attention real fast).

And let's be honest, certain voices among the faculty will carry more weight.  For example, if the AP Calculus, Advanced Analytical Chemistry, and Advanced Latin teachers were to insist upon change, the Board would likely listen, knowing those people are hard to replace.  There are vets among the lower school whose voices carry a lot weight.

But until the teachers meet and agree to take action, the Board (and likely Penny) will cast aside the gripes on this thread as needless noise.[/quote]
