Childrens Lighthouse

My children, one with dyslexia, have done very well at this school. The teachers and administration are wonderful at dealing with anything we have thrown at them. They are very quick to assist with bullying.

My experience with this district left me with serious concerns about student safety, accountability, and transparency. As a child, concerns were raised about a school employee who had access to students. My family reported those concerns and submitted a written request regarding this employee, but we did not feel that our concerns were taken seriously.Years later, after learning that numerous former students from multiple states had come forward with similar allegations involving the same individual, I began seeking answers about how complaints were handled. I submitted public records requests asking for investigative records, disciplinary records, and internal communications related to this employee.The district informed me that no such records existed. I was also told that the district's email servers had been decommissioned in 2021. When I requested documentation regarding the decommissioning and destruction of those records, I was informed that no certificates of destruction, retention logs, vendor records, chain-of-custody documentation, or similar records could be located. As someone seeking answers, I found this extremely troubling. The absence of records made it impossible to determine how concerns were addressed, what discussions may have taken place, or whether proper procedures were followed.Parents trust schools to protect children and to maintain transparency when concerns are raised. When records that could help explain past decisions are unavailable, it undermines public confidence and makes accountability difficult.My hope is that future families never have to spend years searching for answers only to be told that the records no longer exist. Every child deserves a safe learning environment, and every parent deserves confidence that concerns will be taken seriously and preserved appropriately.

Staff members genuinely care about students. They make school an enjoyable environment!

This school is fantastic. The new administration has been wonderful. They have put students, families, and staff first. We love CE!
