Washington Elementary lacks discipline and it caused a safety issue for my child. Another student had been causing issues for 3 years straight by using vulgar language and screaming at both teachers and students, throwing chairs, punching doors and lockers, and breaking glass. It was addressed with the school multiple times by multiple parents and it seemed like nothing changed. This student was not a special needs student and was fully aware of her actions. According to the school, they were taking “appropriate action”. The last straw for our family was when 2 incidents took place within 7 days where my child was the victim of this violence. My child, who generally loves school, was fearful to go to school. A police report was filed and the school district’s resource officer was supposed to contact me but NEVER did. I had enough and pulled my child from this school and this school district before my child ended up getting seriously hurt. If this school and the district don’t get discipline and safety under control, they could be facing seriously legal action down the road if this violent behavior continues to happen.
