A Crisis at Pacific Oaks

08/02/2007

Six essential qualities that are the key to success: Sincerity, personal integrity, humility, courtesy, wisdom, charity.
William Menninger

One of the most renowned early childhood training institutions in the nation, Pacific Oaks, is apparently in jeopardy of closing. The board of Pacific Oaks has asked President Carolyn Denham to develop contingency plans in reaction to an apparent financial crisis, including a "Contingency Plan for a Teach-out of the College is to be presented to Board committees in time for presentation to the Board at its fall 2007 meeting." The teach-out would lead to the closing of the school.

Pacific Oaks faculty and graduates are launching an effort to "Save Our School." For details on the crisis at Pacific Oaks and the effort to save the school, go to: www.pacificoakssos.com
