Poorly run school, abusive tactics toward some students and parents b the current administration. Close Quote

by a parent
Wednesday, June 2, 2021

The Principal unfairly and harshly punished the two children and I believe, deliberately, for simply playing with each other in the hallway in a fashion that displayed friendship, camaraderie and playfulness. This and other types of playfulness, as you know, helps build and solidify friendships at school.

We understand the importance of adherence to school rules and I believe in rules are needed for effective learning to occur, as well as the children learning in a social setting. In these aforementioned incidences, it is my wholehearted belief that the boys were unfairly targeted and that permanent change must occur at Edwins Elementary School.

I find the leadership at Edwin severely lacking in humility and respect for parents. Given the recent, egregious and horrendous behaviors of several now-imprisoned teachers/staff members of Okaloosa School District and the shock of the behaviors of former Superintendent Mary Beth Jackson, I would think the administration at all schools in the county would wish to convey an overall tone of openness, honesty, respect and integrity toward the parents of the children they serve, yet do not find the current administration at Edwins upholding their oaths as good leaders.
