As a former employee and a parent myself, I cannot remain silent about what I personally witnessed during my time at this school.I was consistently praised for my work with my assigned student and for the care, patience, and dedication I brought to my position. However, my experience changed when I began speaking up about concerns that I believed affected the safety and well-being of the children entrusted to this school.I observed children being handled in ways that I felt were unnecessarily rough and inappropriate. I witnessed concerns regarding student supervision, including during fire drills conducted near busy roadways where I believed closer monitoring was needed to ensure student safety. I also observed situations where nursing staff appeared to be asleep while non-medical personnel were expected to take on responsibilities that I believed should have been handled by qualified medical professionals.As a parent, I could not sit quietly and ignore what I believed were serious concerns. Every child deserves to be protected, properly supervised, and treated with dignity and compassion.When concerns are raised, they should be investigated and addressed. In my experience, speaking up did not lead to meaningful accountability. Instead, it ultimately cost me my position.This review reflects my personal experience and observations while employed at this school. Parents deserve transparency, and children deserve better.
