“The facilitator’s report states that “Parents indicated that the lack of a clearly worked out plan for the three schools meant that parents didn’t have a clear proposal to consider. As a result, they were unwilling to take “a shot in the dark” and so plumped for retention of the status quo”. Teachers also had questions about their working conditions and contracts.
That all seems fair enough; why would anybody vote for change when they haven’t been told what the change would be? If you want to make a proposal to schools you need to have a detailed plan on what the change would look like and how it would be achieved- Nobody wants their children or their workplace to be a guinea pig experiment.
Better the devil you know. Literally, in this case.
That’s a pretty biased article there by impartial national broadcaster. Author claims it’s unfair, yet the continuing of the current arrangements was backed by 83% of families.
She must be unfamiliar with democratic decision making.
