Charter/Charter Board Shenanigans

The board’s decision followed an emotionally charged, standing-room only informal charter board meeting on the grounds of National Collegiate Preparatory that lasted well into the night.

Minutes after the meeting ended last Wednesday, DCPCSB Deputy Executive Director Naomi DeVeaux, while standing among dozens of people, including DCPCSB Executive Director Scott Pearson, allegedly yelled an obscenity at and pointed her finger in a staff member’s face.

A two-page incident report, filed by Nigel Jackson, a social worker at National Collegiate Preparatory, said that DeVeaux lashed out at him in reaction to US Census Bureau data he recited at a December 17 hearing.

Jackson said he presented the statistical information to highlight the broken family dynamics and circumstances his students overcome. For him, what he described as DeVeaux’s emotionally volatile outburst called into question not only her credibility in determining Black children’s future, but how disrespect by a charter school official could go unchecked.

“Ms. DeVeaux’s misconduct was a violation of professional ethics and underscores the pattern of disregard she and the charter board staff have with underserved communities and the schools which serve them,” Jackson said.

“Would Ms. DeVeaux have a profanity-laced tirade in Georgetown, Friendship Heights or Capitol Hill? Has she displayed this behavior at Washington Latin or BASIS? [There remains an] underlying question of accountability. Had this incident been caught on video, there would be a national outpouring demanding action,” he added.

This seems like a pretty blatant attempt to add some official status to this guy's complaint that he's mad he got yelled at. With what official body was this "incident report" "filed"? In the context of a daycare, a school or a service provider that serves disabled people, an incident report is a real thing that's mandated by law and has meaning. In the context of "somebody yelled at me in a meeting" it isn't and it doesn't.

So the uncredentialed paper pusher is a “lady” and he ( multiple-degreed social worker) is a “man-baby” ?

The bias is overwhelming on DCUM....

I want to know what was said.

No one cares that this white woman yelled, cursed, pointed her finger, and threw her hands up at this black man. Had it been the other way around... a man cursing at and confronting a woman that way... harassment charges and police involvement.

Plus this "lady" has authority and power over this man's livelihood.

Par for the course on DCUM.
