[quote=Anonymous]I think that there are two factors going on here that have not been mentioned. One is the death of Sally Smith 7 years ago. The death of a founder can mean a loss of vision and sense of who owns the vision. No matter how well the succession is handled, it still affects the organization. I have seen organizations do fine for the first few years after the death of a founder, but unless there is someone who can take the reins with the vigor, fortitude and ambition of the founder, it tends to rest on its laurels- which is fine for 3-5 years. The second is that at the same time DSC has gotten its act better together (up to a point) with its special needs populations and it isn't a given that they will fund a student at a private school. This has had to have an effect on the recruitment of students. It makes the schools more beholden to parents and there may be a subtle shift towards lowering/expanding the bar and placating more difficult parents and cases. [/quote]
