Tuesday, September 18, 2018

This school is very racist. Beware if you are African American they will call child protection on you and never contact the parents first for anything! The Principall takes up for her white teachers. My kids were only there for 2 weeks before they called child protection and the superintendent is racist as well. He never followed up with me when the same teacher modified my daughters work., saying her test is different from others and she is a regular education student never had an IEP. Close Quote
