The board wanted some smoke and mirrors tasks done to reflect a higher standard than what the IS was doing as standard practice, they wanted a "show" so that COIS would pass them on their evaluation. The two senior admins werent going for it, they wanted real implementation but that costs a lot more money than smoke and mirrors. The two senior admins werent going to go along and get along so they got silenced by being removed. Of course when it was found out (because these things dont stay quite) all the teachers basically revolted.

Nothings going to happen. The board wants what the board wants and now its just damage and image control. Nothing would have or could have kept anyone from saying or filing anything with COIS and this plan only works if you keep it in the shadows. So now its just denials and spinning the story until things quite down. Canadian teachers have fewer (Canadian) options in HK than UK or American teachers. The board cant do anything without either the appearance of or admission of error or misconduct. They have to continue their support of the HOS or risk greater potential problems. They simply cant risk more potential enemies.
