AND THE WALLS CAME A-TUMBLING DOWN Votes of No Confidence Elicit Firings, Resignations and Retirements
The Lede
· NAIS President Donna Orem announces retirement after leading campaign to ruin elite privates
· St. Matthew’s Parish School (CA) Headmaster Ed Kim fired after years of incompetence
· Latin School of Chicago (IL) Board Chair David Koo resigns after being named in lawsuit by parents of 15-year-old LSC student who committed suicide
· Rye Country Day School (NY) Board accepts incoming headmaster Randall Dunn allowing students to call each other the N word
They Would Not See The Land
National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) Board Chair Randall Dunn and National Association of Episcopal Schools (NAES) President Ed Kim leave their respective schools under clouds of disgrace. Figures who should be standard bearers of competence and leaders above reproach have been abject failures. How did two utterly inept headmasters become national organization leaders? Were they innocent cases of failing up? Nope, we are not buying the NAIS and NAES heads just happened to be incompetent despite being chosen to be heads of prestigious national organizations. It looks to us we are facing a situation of incompetence by design. Feigning incompetence is an obvious easy way they cannot be accused of intentionally destroying Independent X School. Yup, these Klingenstein Fellows knew exactly what they were doing.
