ABA was set up in 1987 by a parents' action group at the now defunct Muscat English Speaking
School. Without the energy and passion of parents, ABA would not exist. 30 years later, we are calling on parents to come together once again to take action, but this time it is action against a board restructuring plan. This plan places all power in the hands of just a few appointed individuals and dramatically reduces the voice of parents. The move is both undemocratic and illegal, as according to Omani law on International Schools, parents have the right to decide the majority of their representatives on the board and this is how it should stay. Without us there would be no school and no board. The above-mentioned change is just one of many proposed - none to the benefit of parents, the admin or the school in general. Instead, a few appointed individuals stand to consolidate all power in their hands. We urge you to read more about this plan and to sign this petition to show them that you are against the restructuring and in favour of greater transparency!

I am disappointed that the Board was going to vote on this in closed session. The lack of transparency that parents were not told about this major change does not sit right.
As a fee paying parent I find this move by the board to be total unacceptable and do not support it in any manner.
I believe the whole board should resign because of this matter... A serious refreshing of mind and body on this level what this school needs the most. Along with it the change of the superintendent would be the second most important thing to do.... so if there is another petition for that I am happy to sign that also...
I was wondering why some board members have stayed for donkeys years and are turning stone. What a corruption, if this is true.
This is completely wrong. We pay so much for this school and yet they treat us like we have no say. Very shameful behavior from the board.
This is rather unfortunate.
We like and prefer the board stuructre the way it is

(I trust this petition is legal). I already suffered for the lack of transparency of ABA. I agree on the concept requested by this petition
