Passing of Robert Shrager

JCoSS is very sad to announce the passing on Saturday evening of its first chair of governors, Robert Shrager.   Vice-chair, Mike Grabiner, will take over acting chair.

 

Appointed in January 2008 – despite struggling with illness throughout much of the time – Robert Shrager (60) oversaw the establishment of JCoSS’s first governing body (formally known as a Temporary Governing Body because the school has yet to open).  He was also ultimately responsible for the appointment announced last week of the school’s first Headteacher, Jeremy Stowe-Lindner.

 

JCoSS President, Gerald Ronson said:

 

“We have lost a good friend and ally.  Robert brought to JCoSS both a great vision and professionalism.  Our thoughts go out to his family and especially to his wife, Elizabeth, at this difficult time.”

 

ENDS
