Serious concerns regarding leadership, overreach, and retaliation.My 9-year-old son, a fourth-grade student, was involved in a verbal altercation outside of school, off campus, and unrelated to any school activity. Despite having no jurisdiction, the school chose to involve itself after the other family escalated the situation by contacting both police and the school.Without witnessing the incident and without an impartial review, the school attempted to force our family to sign a no-contact order. We refused.Since that refusal, my child has been singled out and disproportionately scrutinized for minor, routine behaviors—creating a clear pattern of targeting rather than support. This change in treatment has been consistent and unmistakable.Our interaction with the principal was particularly troubling. Communication was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional, lacking neutrality or respect. A public school principal should not speak to parents in an adversarial or condescending manner, especially when discussing matters outside the school’s authority.This experience raises serious concerns about leadership, judgment, and how easily a family’s complaint can trigger administrative overreach and retaliation against a child.Parents should think carefully about whether this school’s administration can be trusted to act fairly, professionally, and within appropriate boundaries.
