Open Quote Our students are not receiving an education. Administration is hardly ever in the building when I drop my kids off and hardly ever listen when my daughter has told the principal about the stealing of her things in the hallway. I pay for my kids stuff and if the Administration doesn't care they should have to buy my kids' stuff that is stolen. Close Quote
