What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, January 23, 2016

By the end of my son's Senior year, I could no longer trust what councilors and administrators were telling me. My son's councilor, Tara Lebar, allowed him to turn in homework that he didn't do in order to bring his grades up for graduation. The assistant Principal, Bryan Brutto, kept telling me that the school would take actions once my son had skipped enough school days (the district allow Seniors to skip school without parental permission). He never took any actions. They certainly didn't have the student's best interests at heart in my son's case. Close Quote
