We been in the North Clackamas School District for over 2 decades, we had multiple children attending Bilquist Elementary School & NCSD. The past 3 to 5 years, we have experienced a serious decline in this school leadership, administrative accountability & student safety practices.Our primary concerns center on the Principal & his Admin & leadership. We have seen a consistent pattern of failure to adhere to agreed-upon protections for children including those established through IEP processes & parent-school agreements. Instead of following documented plans & respecting established boundaries, the decisions have often appeared unilateral, inconsistent & disconnected from parent input or student needs.There are Serious concerns regarding transparency & communication. Important decisions & student-related interactions have not always been communicated appropriately or consistently to parents. In multiple instances, we have felt excluded from critical information regarding our child’s safety, wellbeing & school experience.There are "Major concerns" in the behavior that has been observed of the Principal & his Administration their approach towards student interactions, a disregard for parental authority, rights & family cultural & religious values & views. Documented reports of private 1 on 1 interactions with students behind closed doors, followed by coercion of situations & discouraging students to share the conversations with parents. This raises serious concerns regarding transparency, professional boundaries & trust between families & the school.Instead of collaboration with families, the administrative approach has often felt directive & dismissive of parental concerns. This has contributed to a broader environment where families feel pressured, unheard, or discouraged from raising legitimate safety & procedural concerns.Despite repeated communication & documentation from our family, concerns have not been meaningfully addressed through corrective action or consistent follow-through. Instead, responses have often focused on minimizing issues rather than resolving them.The impact on our child has been significant, resulting in fear surrounding school attendance, emotional distress & a loss of trust in the adults responsible for ensuring his safety & wellbeing.We want accountability, transparency & immediate alignment with agreed-upon protections, proper IEP implementation & respectful, collaborative engagement with families moving forward.
