[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sad about what's happened to CMI over the course of several years. Like many, we had wonderful early education years there, but the cracks had started to show by our eldest's second-grade year, and then really went off the rails during the pandemic - which certainly wasn't unique to CMI. But it was apparent that the founding executive director built the school around her child's personal needs, expanded it to meet them, then quit when her child graduated and she no longer had any need for the school. Despite falsely assuring families and staff that was not her intention - it was all along. Poor succession planning, poor hiring, poor support of staff, a board uncommitted to its fiduciary duties, and departing from the core mission damaged it beyond repair. It's such a lovely location and the concept had so much potential and we truly felt like we struck gold when we lotteried in to the school. We left after third/first grade and I don't know of a family from either child's grade who are still there (would be 6th/8th graders now).[/quote]

That's not exactly how it played out. While the founder may have had personal interest in the school's success, she was ousted. That wasn't voluntary on her part. And she seemingly was the only person there who even understood the mission, as those who ousted her have spent the time since her ouster chasing their tails. [/quote]
