Saturday, March 2, 2019

We attended from 2011 to 2015 and I became very involved in the PTSA, even as an executive member, as a way to represent my student and become stronger to deal with the ineffective and coercive leadership, which is still there and should be replaced. The leadership was more concerned with protecting and preserving their jobs than correcting or improving any issue. They kept a ridiculous smarmy vice principal way too long and the rest of the leadership is still there. The school would do better for students with fresh leadership and the stats are going down....
