Attention: The Chairperson of the OSC Board
Dear Aisha
We are writing to you to express our deep concern over the untimely resignation of Mr. Stephen Wilson from the Board, only a few days after the AGM, and the subsequent process whereby the Board will hand pick his successor rather than appoint an elected candidate.
We are aware that the school articles require that the Board selects Mr. Wilson's replacement among a pool of self-nominated candidates however this resignation within days of the AGM contradicts the spirit of the school articles if not their letter. The optics of such plan do not help build the parents' confidence in the school governance.
To allay such concerns, we would like to request that either the 4th ranking candidate at the last AGM board election be appointed to replace Mr. Wilson or that the Board calls an EGM to proceed with a fresh election.
We look forward to a favorable reply from you and the Board.

The volume of support has reached a level that the Board can no longer ignore. I am currently finalizing a formal letter to the Chairperson requesting an immediate meeting to review the appointment process.

We deserve better representation than this. Stop the backroom deals!
The optics are terrible. Just follow the outcome of the last vote and put the 4th candidate on the board. Its simple.
Exactly. If someone didn't get enough votes the first time why should they be handed a seat now? Very disappointed in how this is being handled.
The board needs to be transparent. Appointing someone behind closed doors looks bad for everyone involved. Do the right thing and hold an EGM.
This is completely shady. Why wait until after the AGM to resign? Just hold the election properly so we can actually vote.

Total nonsense. Stephen Wilson should have waited or the board should have seen this coming. Give the runner up the seat.
