Chapter 19 - The Board Report
Briarwood released the independent investigation publicly.
One hundred eighty-two pages.
Findings included donor influence over athletics.
Unauthorized health-record access.
Failure to manage conflicts of interest.
Improper pressure around student participation.
Retaliatory culture toward staff and parents raising medical concerns.
The report stopped short of claiming every case involved intentional endangerment.
It did not need exaggeration.
The truth was enough.
Maria Lopez became permanent principal after a national search, despite initially refusing to apply.
Her condition:
No donor seat automatically tied to gift size.
The board agreed.
Medical governance became independent.
Athletics reported through education administration, not donor committees.
Sarah read the report alone.
Then closed it.
No celebration.
Too many children had paid for lessons adults should have understood sooner.
Still, there was relief.
Paper existed now.

The institution could not honestly say it never happened.
