各位家长,敬请留意中文学校以下事实

请大家不要忘记参加今天的听证会。 会议时间是11点到1点,地点为Kirkland主校址的餐厅。

各位家长,敬请留意中文学校以下事实:


1. 在现任校长周琳任职之前,中文学校历经十年,逐步发展成长,在校生已达近千人次。中文学校已经被 accredited by the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools (NAAS). Source: http://www.nwchinese.org。中文学校已有一个运行良好的行政管理体制。周琳在她的简历中所讲:first time established a functional school management team 不符实。


2. 自周琳担任校长以来,在学生人数并没增加多少(约170人)的情况下,已先后增加了:

a. 两个副校长职位;
b. 还计划另增添一名行政副校长;
c. 一名专管email的assistant;
d. 一名专管e-magazine 的专职人员;



3. 学校现有教师约79人,工资支出每学期约为$5.6万。平均每名教师每学期收入约为$700;学校现有行政人员约6人,工资支出每学期约为$1.17万。平均每名行政人员(不包括校长)每学期收入约为$2,000。Source: http://www.nwchinese.org fall semester financial statement


4. 去年学校为期十周的署期班(每天十一小时),周琳作为summer program 的 general manager, 一共在三个校区的时间加起来不足8小时,却拿走近一万元的报 酬(工资加奖金)。

周琳在去年署期班的平均每小时收入约为 $1,250。



5. 去年学校署期班的纯利润约为$9,000。 仅仅是2005年summer program 的纯利润(约$27,000) 的1/3. 今年署期班更是难以为继,至今只能勉强开出一个校区。


6. 现任校长周琳利用学校电子邮件在未经董事会和当事人同意的情况下,把她与董事及22人家长团来往关于学校的问题的讨论信件加以删改后发给全校家长。在全体家长一再质问下,一个月后终于在法律的压力下道歉认错。http://nwcssaga.blogspot.com/

I heard Zhou Lin had refused to disclose school's last three months finincal statements. Is this true?

按照我的计算,老师的工资还不到学费的25%。这只有两个解释,一老师的工资太低, 二是学费太高。我们是非盈利机构,不是某些人赚钱的机器。

It is true. So far we still don't hear her explanation. However, please pay attention to the fact so many previous BOD members retired/resigned and new BOD members even include her husband's collage classmate, LZ. Is that meaning something? We don't know. Maybe we'll ever know the truth about last month BOD election.

Maybe we'll NEVER know the truth about last month BOD election and the reason why PTA Chair was so ardently insisting to hold the election in May.

Hi, All,

Did you read "还计划另增添一名行政副校长"?

Maybe L Chen 's inquriy regarding PTA Chair is not from nowhere. Let's see......

今天开会又上了鬼子一档!被一位那个赖皮不选校长了就放她一马,没想到她居然还那么死不要脸,当众撒谎。姓孙的那个孙子不出来主持公道还怪这怪那,瞎混了个董事纠正把自己当成长老了。这次他们再敢搞鬼非把这个什么狗屁董事会给掀翻了不可。

大家多次提到NWCS是个Nonprofit Organization.请注意Nonprofit Organization不意味着不挣钱,而是挣到的钱怎么个用法.
NWCS毕竟是个以华人为主体,中文教学文化交流为中心的社区性团体,收入不应该只是用于提高管理人员和教师人员的工资,而是多一些考虑这个团体的壮大,以华人团体的形式参与社会公益事业,以此扩大华人社会的影响和地位.所以说到底在NWCS教职员工最需要的还是volunteerism(工资适当而止),只有这样全体社区的家长教职员工才能齐心协力,不记报酬,任劳任怨,团结壮大.

各位:周琳即使不当校长了,也要追究她的行政乃至刑事责任。

- 追究暑期班在其任校长期间垮掉的责任。
- 至今未缴出全校教职员工明细工资表。
- 解雇人员未经过董事会批准。
- 道德败坏,滥用学校财产,给全校发邮件,已经造成中文学校空前混乱。
- 撒谎成性,造谣惑众,挑拨董事会与教职员工的关系。造成极坏影响。
- 行政人员大都到高于教学人员的工资,实属管理失职,或任人唯亲。
- 被家长告到LWTC,对NWCS全体社区,给乃至全体中国人的形象造成侮辱。

建议董事会给与周琳已开除处理。

建议董事会:请专业会计市审计师,彻底调查周琳在任期将的所有账目。以备对其进行刑事诉讼。

I was not only monitoring school emails, but did a lot of other school routines. I was paid 1,200 at the beginning to be in charge of e-magazine, daily emails and registrations , answering questions at the admin and other urgent situations, such as going to customs to collect big drums or driving to Seattle for classroom rentals, etc. As the second semester, it was obvious that there were too much to be taken care of, editing e-magazine was taken over by another teacher, which I was very grateful for.

I agree. She is always lying.

今天候选人评议表的发放过程做的井井有条,十分专业,一家一票,公平规范.我希望从这一新的亮点开始,加上新的校长班子,西北中文这盏灯从此会越照越亮.

She lies constantly. She has abosolutely no ethic at all.

I cannot believe she is the pricinpal. Even in today's hearing, she lied several times.

You guys are so unfortunate dealing with such a CROOK for so long.

It is clear what parents wanted during today's meeting. Unless something strange happens, ZL is definitely out. Most people still believe in honesty. This is very encouraging!

This doesn't mean she should not be checked for potential financial problems. Board must continue to finish their investigation.

I am so happy today. What I have seen before about her is exactly what is the result. As for the financial report, there are still a lot to be audit, like Microsoft Match, some donations from kind parents, income from free seminars, for which every speaker paid $50 to the school. We definitely need an answer.

Finally, she is out!!!! so I decided my kids will stay in this school. Please do not pick on 22 parents any more. We are all parents, we are all volunteers.

今天有家长问财政透明的问题。周琳回答说得徵求董事会的意见云云。而曹老师则说:在法律允许的范围内尽最大努力透明 - 这显然是一个懂法律的人说的话,因为董事会也必须服从法律。很欣慰曹老师站出来,来收拾周留下的烂摊子。

I think all parents has the right to send memo to state owned, tax payer run school like LWTC. No doubt that we should not let Zhou Lin to destroy LWTC!!!. The college is run by our money.

I will going to monitor and watch what the college will do to Zhou Lin.

Sun Ben Jing is full of shit when he express concerns today regardin g someone disclose Zhou Lin's worng doing to LWTC.

这是Jeromy Jin的功劳。当然还有出来帮忙的家长。非常感谢他们!!

感谢Jeromy Jin,感谢出来帮忙的家长,比如谢红和其他我不知道名字的家长。非常感谢他们!!

我也挺喜欢那个曹老师的,回答问题有条理,头脑清楚。有个候选人居然说“中国人就喜欢窝里斗”,啥意思啊?他要是当了校长,那意思我们还不能提意见咯?!

Anonymous said...

Nancy最后文周琳的时候提到学校的钱60%用在员工的工资上,我们所有老师家一起还没有拿到25%, 周琳加上五个行政人员拿了35%?太过分了吧?!如果不是他们拿了,那些钱都到哪里去了?

还想知道一点,房租占收入的%多少?其它用在了那里?

曹老师的先生也是华大的教授,很有才华。她本人又是注册的lawyer. 他们是拿的到桌面上的人物。可以代表我们华人社区。几位候选人都在人品,学业,领导才能上远远高于周淋。真不明白怎么让她当了校长。我们五年级的孩子都比她有出息。

关键是呀,周琳这个人不善。此人很恶。

Zhou Lin hired so many assistants (2 VPs,2 additional admins) to help her, then what does she do as a principal? Does she use her own salary to pay them? I don't think so. So she has been using NWCS's money to reduce her work load and responsibility but still get the same pay. It is a shame that she says this is her big accomplishment - "building a management team"! According to her logic, it will be an bigger accomplishment if she hires 10 VPs
and do nothing!

Anonymous said...

Who approved the budget for hiring VPs and assistants then? Either board is also responsible, or the school has no clear regulation how to run (i.e. principal can do anything he/she wants without any double check).
Interestingly, some candidate advocated to have permanent school location - if so, who is the owner of the property, and how do we count for any of the money that comes in as rental (assuming you have to rent out the rest 6 days of the week to balance your budget)? Shouldn't NWCS then change name to be Northwest Chinese Incorprated to handle the real estate business?

I am sad for Zhou Lin. If she is not so stubborn, and use her own judgement to resign at earlier stage, she won't be a loser as today. People who supported her lead her to today's awful situation. Poor Zhou Lin.

什么事到了周林那就说不清了。“building a management team"! 也成了功劳,真好笑。按这个逻辑,下一个校长大概得有10个人的管理班子才叫成功。

学生多了17%那老师的收入提高了多少呢??班级大了,学生的学费也没有少啊?

Nancy的妈妈在Payroll上不能看帐,就算这个理由合理,那其它八个董事呢?也一定有不能看的理由喽?

周琳走了,大快人心! 被周琳提拔的VP林说她也不干了. 好!这个林一直帮着周琳挑唆老师,大闹是非,把学校搞的乌烟瘴气.
林要不走,周琳的阴魂还会不散!历届老校长一走,跟她穿一条裤子的人也自动离开. 这太好了,这些坏风气也带走了,学校才会安宁!
老师们会大力支持新校长,新校长找一个维护中文学校的VP太容易了.

中文学校就是要革除这些对学校不利的人,树立新风气, 雨后的中文学校会发展的更好!

Anonymous said...

林一直替周琳充当打手,冲锋陷阵, 哪还有脸面对老师,学生和家长们,离开中文学校是上策.

Anonymous said...

说得好,五月七号以周琳的匿名信开始,到六月八号以给LWTC的匿名信结束。幽默!!!

这叫搬起石头砸自己的脚。请君入瓮。

说实在的,两个副校长辞了好。这叫识时务。否则都得给开除了。

Anonymous said...

何必呢?!据我所知,林作为VP做了很多工作,就算她维护周琳也是无可厚非的,难道她不能有她自己的观点吗?难道她作为下属不服从周琳的领导吗?

Anonymous said...

就是,校长犯了那么多的错误都没有开除,开除副校长也有点耸人听闻吧。 学校还是要团结一点好, 每次校长走都带走一批人这本身就是个不正常的现象。

which law states that Nancy can not have access to Payroll information because her mother is on NWCS payroll? L. Chen, please tell us that was another lie from the Principal.
