There was no plan presented and rejected. All we were told was that Billy was joining the school as a TCRG and would be able to teach without the Kennys present. That is the important fact: we were not told about any plan. -- New England Irish Dancers

In reply to: Difference 's message, "No one is saying they should not have closed the school, in the face of a rejected plan. It is the way in which it was done that people seem to be most upset with. There is a difference." on 17:37:29 07/30/22 Sat

The school is out for summer, so no in person opportunity, and they first offered a solution, which again was rejected! Have you ever been in extreme financial difficulty? I have and let me tell you every day you get up hoping that today is the day that things will turn around, you hold out until the very end!! It's also frightening and disorientating and a huge loss of dignity! You seem to be suggesting that they should have had no privacy! The reality is that its very difficult to run a school without a roof over your head, and it really makes me sad that that has to be said.

The first email said Billy would be teaching as a TCRG, and a few days later, they closed the school. I don't know why people are acting as if it was communicated that the school might close and there was some offer rejected. That is completely inaccurate. There was poor communication that resulted in children hurting.

I also think some children (and adult dancers) are sad, but it's the parents that are reacting the most. The Kennys are such nice people.

I don’t know any Kenny parents who were upset about Billy joining. Lots of families are going to his new school. I just wish they had found a way to say goodbye to their students.
