SPECIAL NEEDS BEWAREParents of special needs children must beware of sending prized children to Charles Huber Elementary School. There are numerous attitude, personnel, and systemic issues in this school which are hazardous to your children's health and well-being.Building Administration The building administration meagerly monitors the special education staff, including intervention specialists and aides. The principal has limited control, knowledge, and/or influence upon the quality control of special education service delivery. There are no powerful, true "boots-on-the-ground" advocates for your children in this building.Special Education Administration The district special education administration has limited knowledge of what is transpiring in high-needs classrooms. They defend educators without considering legal compliance. There is lack of surprise visits to observe the root cause of problems .When the administration is more concerned about protecting teachers instead of disabled children, you know there are huge problems in the building.Lack of Systems The school administrators do not have significant systems in place to ensure the full safety and well-being of students with disabilities. There is a lack of qualified substitute teachers with special education knowledge. At times, educational aides are left without a substitute teacher, which is either unethical and/or illegal. Students risk being traumatized when both the special education teacher and aide call off at the same day .This may frequently occur when a friendship bonds are fostered, wrongdoing will never be discovered, because the team will repeatedly lie to defend themselves.Accessible DesignThe special education classrooms do not follow federal ADA accessible design criteria, including access to attached bathrooms.Limited Training Beyond possessing a Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree, the intervention specialists do not possess significant, industry- recognized, transferrable special education credentials. The educational aides have no significant, external training beyond what the school district provides. The best teachers and aides should be placed in the early grades instead of at the upper grades.No sensory Rooms The school district and the special education department do not provide sensory facilities or materials for students with disabilities .Whatever limited supplies are present are teacher purchased.

Great students, respectful and eager to learn. Teaching staff is very helpful as well as office staff, to me as a first year teacher. Starting my second year now. About 2% of the student population does not want to learn, attend class, or take tests. Don’t let that discourage you. We will bend over backwards for those students as we have other options for them. Remember, if you see something say something. Great things are happening at Wayne. I will ask, please allow the property tax mill to pass next time. If just the parents of the current Wayne students voted Yes, it will pass. I think it’s been about 20 years since Huber Heights has passed a MIL for the school district.

This is an excellent school for all abilities. I have a child with disabilities and children without, they have benefited from attending this school. The school staff is very caring and professional. The course options are great! Mrs. Anstaett is a wonderful Intervention Specialist and my son loves going to her classes.
