[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then why did over 100 kids leave this year after he was gone?[/quote]

For one thing it is easier to destroy something but rebuilding can take years.

But fixing something requires 1. Acknowledge there is a problem 2. Getting the right people to fix it 3. Implementing fixes - all that takes years.

This year wasn’t simply a “problem hos is gone let’s fix it!” First the financials were in shambles. All the energy has been going into that. Interim hos, cfo, division heads - they were all barely trying to keep the school above water. They all failed by April. So “fixing” anything else wasn’t even on the todo list.

And then you have the fact that so many people refuse to even acknowledge there is a problem. You’re a hater, troll, racist, all kinds of things for even suggesting there might be something  wrong. String denial is why parents who were struggling were met with a brick wall when they took concerns to admin in the 1st place. So it is still unclear that the school agrees there was a problem. No one gives a debrief of why students left. Not in the open at least.

So if admin is still in denial have they yet hired the right people to address the problems? Will any changes be implemented? No one knows.

So if you were an unfortunate victim of how the school atmosphere changed and affected your kid, you were alone and nothing got better all this year. So you left. That’s why they ended up in the red with enrollment in April. [/quote]
