Rancho Solano Case Max Points: 60
Part 1
The Rancho Solano Preparatory School case had controversy over an administrative decision that affected families. The school board decided to hire a consultant to evaluate the closure and provide expertise. Read “Rancho Solano Case.” Review the links included in Topics Materials associated with contemporary media reporting on this school issue.
The school board has hired you as a consultant to review the situation and present your findings and recommendations. Write a paper (1,250-1,500 words) that discusses the Rancho Solano case. Complete this assignment from the perspective of the hired consultant. Respond to the following questions:
1 What factors operating in Rancho Solano’s general and specific/internal environment affected the decision to close two campuses and consolidate resources? What is your evaluation of the decision made by Dr. Mernard and Meritas?
2 What is your evaluation of the process of going about the closure? Was RSPS demonstrating social responsibility? Discuss the closure impact on three specific stakeholders.
3 How do you think this change impacted organizational behavior within the closed campus, within the school, and among the stakeholders?
