The current principal is mismanaging what could be an amazing school, completely focused on herself and her singing career. School events show this clearly- listen to her speeches and watch her take the limelight away from the children. Some staff members are excellent- though others can be awful to the children. Behavioral and safety issues of poorly acting staff are covered up when brought to attention- ask a wide variety of parents and some willing staff members to speak up and it’s revealing. Parent calls and emails with valid concerns are ignored by the principal or even gas lit. We speak from experience and from community sharing with us. My child, along with many of their friends, witnessed many injustices while there and other friend/family members have as well when visiting. Some cafeteria workers mistreat the children with scowling, shaming, pulling on children and my child even witnessed children forced to keep their heads down “stuck on tables” for minutes at a time as punishments for loudness or wiggling. My child has regularly witnessed staff yelling traumatically at children with special needs and any children for that matter. A new county superintendent and new principal here would be a great start to improving things at this school and county wide. We are understanding that there is little to no training or even drug tests for faculty either. It’s a complete gamble whether your child will have a great teacher or even a decent day. If lucky to obtain a great teacher for the school year, if that teacher is out for any reason, the substitutes can be horrible. There needs to be regulation of adult behaviors and drug testing in Williamson County Schools starting from the top management. It’s a mess.
