Lots of pointless things make people happy. Let them have this.

Bu$ing!

Sorry about your high wait list number

Way to support PP point!

So did other schools like Ashlawn, Alice West Fleet, and Swanson go through the same procedure with the families, i.e. seeking their input and holding a meeting with the school community prior to the appointment of their respective principals?

Ashlawn sent out the survey about qualities. Then they solicited teachers and parents for the interview committee. The committee interviewed a bunch of candidates and sent their top 3 on to Dr. Duran who made the hiring decision. It was a pretty fast process.

I don’t know about that, ATS staff and families were able to get their start time moved to 7:50 by complaining.

Is that official? When was it announced?

The presentation is up in boarddocs

Swanson sent out a survey, but did not have a meeting.

Are you referring to the outcome of the Bell study?

Yes

More was at play (logistics, $) than complaining parents.

How was money involved?
