While children have had caring teachers and we are deeply grateful for the dedication of our children’s classroom teachers, and building-level staff who show up every day with heart and effort, often working under conditions that lack adequate support and increasing demands. Our overall experience has been overshadowed by persistent failures within the Special Services department—especially around safety, communication, follow-through, and delivery of services our children are legally entitled to. We've raised serious safety concerns through the proper channels, with little resolution or accountability. This isn’t a reflection of classroom teachers, who are doing their best—it’s a systemic issue that needs awareness. To quote another source, “Bayberry is no longer the crown jewel on the hill it once was” Families should be aware that navigating this system often requires significant outside support and self-advocacy. This should not be the norm.
