I'm confused. Are you saying re the former head who went to Maret-- his spouse was in the parent group that coughed up the funds to get through last year?

Yes - his wife (an administrator at the school) sat on the Parent Capital committee

Interesting.

Complaint alleges only $27,198,133.72 in unpaid rent from April 2020 - May 2022.

I'm sure the Parents Investment Committee will be getting a call soon!

Are these parents of current/formerWSS students complaining? If not what dog do you have in this fight? And on what ground would you sue them anyway?

Same for the former head of school. How is he different from the dozens of other educators that abandoned the project after seeing the direction Whittle was taking? If you are a former teacher/parent, identify his sins. But if it is only his association with whittle, I don't see why so much ink and vinegar is being directed toward him.

People who had the information and skill to understand the school had virtually no chance of surviving til next year helped it limp along this year — in their own self interest — enabling Chris Whittle to continue his lies and rack up debts. Students who hoped to return next year or students who newly applied (including dozens of international students) are now left with only last-minute options.

Meanwhile, I have trouble respecting anyone who joined this organization at a high level. The “direction” the school would take was clear to those with education and/or start up experience—except those who were blinded by promises of $$$.

What does this mean? Not following the logic...

My hunch is that the pp meant to ask was it really worth it to knowingly boost a dead entity and incite your parent colleagues to throw good money after bad just to boost the broken school long enough for your own kids to graduate, leaving the rest of the parents holding the empty bag.
