As we debate money, raises and the selfish views of our district...... STUDENTS ARE LAST ON THE LIST!
We are sharing this story to show how incompetent our FWISD administration is when it comes to protecting children.
For many years an individual, who has since resigned, from Seminary Hills Park Elementary, was sent to OPS just about each year for hitting, pulling, cussing or slapping students. Piles and piles of documentation were provided to Menchaca and all the teacher would do is write a statement that she would not do it again and be on her merry way. If you don't believe us check the documentation at OPS and see if Menchaca will give you the information.
Forward to this past school year and our source gave us the following information. A substitute witnessed the same teacher slap a student and debated on what to do. She was informing other teachers on what should happen, one of the teachers ended up hearing the conversation and brought it up to administration. The substitute was removed from the school and nothing was done about the situation. The teacher was gone for about 10 days, which we hope was an investigation, but returned to finish the school year. The teacher resigned. This is one of many examples of how FWISD looks the other way when it comes to children. They allow things to happen to our children and yet they wonder why students don't achieve, how many bad apples are allowed to do this. We know many of our teachers work their heart out for kids and the few bad ones make it bad for the rest of us. We hear it from principals all the time that they do not get support from OPS because they hide it. I would ask our board members to ask for the documentation. Below is the picture of the teacher who did it and the administrator who allowed it to remain hidden, so many accomplices and yet the student I am sure is marked by it. So Board, ADMIN, enjoy your raises and all the comforts that the taxpayers afford to you and damn the children who you say you are here for. Unbelievable.
ADDED BONUS
Let's not forget how one of our Chief's Sherry Breed was involved in an instance where child abuse was not reported. Read up and you be the judge of the type of individuals we have leading our district. If it was one of us they would have fired us in an instant regardless, I am sure a favor was handed down and Breed remains until the day!

The answer remains the same: until the shepherd (Needham) and all her sheep (Robbins, Avilla, Jackson, Moss, Sims, Ramos (the playboy) and Paz and thrown out and we start over, scandal after scandal will continue to surface. None of the sheeple above have the integrity or spine to stand up to Needham. How pathetic. How is the world is Ramos still allowed to be there? Did anyone investigate what was reported here?
ReplyDeleteAs far as our source knows, nothing was done as it was close to the end of the year. The teacher was off for about 5-10 days, not on admin leave, just decided to take off. Came back and ended the year. The substitute was removed from the campus.
ReplyDeleteI would rather comment here than on Ann's Blog though I support her efforts. Check out her response in the latest entry I believe it is #8 quoting Art Cavazos. Any example of being promoted beyond your own intelligence. This guy is FULL OF CRAP. He said in response to Ann: "Yes, there is $5.5 million designated for classroom furniture as part of proposition three (buses, white fleet, band uniforms/instruments and furniture)." Aside from the obvious (since when are buses considered furniture? Answer = Only in FWISD), of the $5.5 million the BOARD only approved $100,000 to "...buy a supply of furniture to assist with current needs"????? What kind of crap is that? Furniture or ACTUAL DESKS? More bullshit from another minion.
ReplyDeleteCIA what happened with the trial of Breed and Ruiz?
ReplyDeleteI will ask what is happening to the $100K but also whether the principals have asked for the desks. I have a different opinion of Mr. Cavazos from what this reader expresses; he is a highly capable person and a committed public servant--too rare these days (which doesn't mean things work, especially at FWISD.)
ReplyDeleteAnn, you must not really know Cavazos. Ask his principals, does he support them? Return calls? Why are students sitting in broken desks? Why do the bathrooms and hallways smell like urine? This only gets attention when students write the FWST. Ask Paschal?
ReplyDeleteHi Sickening,
ReplyDeleteElections are coming up in 2015 and we need to come out and support other candidates to oust whoever is up for reelection. The Ramos information was verified by co-workers and former co-workers. We know that he had a child out of marriage a year before he ran for the board.
Well if he doesn't respect his wife and family enough to resign, this needs to go viral and we need to force him out. It was illegal for him to use his position to get his girlfriend a job with FWISD. He needs to resign NOW! he has no business being/working with children.
ReplyDeleteIf you are a teacher or parent, make sure you are getting the straight story from the principals. Sometimes the people in the central office get blamed when the principals didn't make requests. While none of us is perfect (and school district jobs are impossible to do perfectly!), he is one of the best in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteHe has fooled you Ann. He is another "man" without integrity.
