Savanna Elementary has been very disappointing in my experience. One of the most serious problems is the way the school ignores chronic absences. Even when children miss school repeatedly, staff simply accept retroactive doctor’s notes and fail to hold anyone accountable. This lack of action is harmful to students’ education and creates an unsafe precedent.The administration also mishandles IEP/504 meetings and avoids issuing proper documentation such as Prior Written Notice, which shows a lack of transparency. Parents are left without real support, and the children’s needs are not taken seriously.This pattern reminds me of the Gabriel Fernandez case, where multiple red flags and reports were ignored until it was too late. While my children’s case is not the same, the similarity is that schools and agencies look the other way instead of intervening when they should. Ignoring warning signs and excusing chronic problems may seem minor, but it puts children at long-term risk.For parents expecting accountability and protection, I cannot recommend Savanna Elementary. My children’s education and well-being have suffered due to the school’s lack of responsibility.
