I am extremely disappointed with the leadership at Ramblewood Elementary School, specifically Principal Dacyany Ibarrondo.I recently had to address a very concerning situation involving my third-grade daughter. Another student in her class made a racially inappropriate and alarming statement to my child, saying that her father is a Coconut Creek police officer and that he arrests people who look like my daughter and would arrest her soon. This comment was deeply inappropriate and should have been taken seriously.My daughter responded by defending herself verbally. However, instead of focusing on the root issue—the racially charged comment made toward my child—there has been an attempt to label my daughter as a bully. This is especially concerning because both the assistant principal and my daughter’s teacher acknowledged that there was no bullying involved.Despite this, the principal’s response has felt dismissive and inappropriate. Rather than addressing the seriousness of what was said to my daughter, I feel that the situation is being mishandled, and I have felt threatened instead of supported as a parent advocating for my child.I teach my daughter to stand up for herself, and I will continue to do so. Situations like this should be handled with fairness, sensitivity, and accountability—not avoidance or intimidation.I strongly believe this matter deserves further review and investigation to ensure that all students are treated equally and protected from discriminatory behavior.
