I’m extremely disappointed with how Ed White High School handled a recent incident involving my younger sister.A staff member repeatedly misgendered my sister after being corrected and later referred to her as transgender. This was disrespectful not only to my sister, but also to the broader LGBTQ+ community. Educators are expected to de-escalate situations and model professionalism — not escalate or demean students.What’s most troubling is that my sister was disciplined immediately and multiple times, while the adult involved faced no visible accountability. This creates the appearance of bias and raises serious concerns about how student complaints are handled versus how staff behavior is addressed.Instead of focusing on accountability and transparency, the school’s response felt dismissive and defensive. That erodes trust between families and the institution that’s supposed to protect and educate children.I hope the administration reflects on this situation, takes appropriate corrective action, and prioritizes respect, fairness, and student well-being moving forward.

This school has been extremely disappointing. My child has a speech delay, yet the school has failed to provide speech services, claiming they are understaffed. That is not an acceptable excuse.Communication is virtually nonexistent. Reaching a teacher is nearly impossible despite repeated calls and emails.On top of this, my daughter has been bullied by a male student. I have reported this multiple times, and no action has been taken.I am beyond frustrated. The lack of services, poor communication, and failure to protect my child show a serious lack of accountability and care.
