They do nothing to help people who used to go to school there. Close Quote

Special needs class needs revamped. My student has gone backwards in learning skills. When you have problems with aides, the school personnel sweeps the problems under carpet per say. If you are fully involved with your child’s education, and don’t use the school as a day care, you will be bumping heads with personnel, lied too, and everything you can think of. Close Quote
