The school is full of very troubled and DANGEROUS children. The soon to be ex principal has downplayed and swept everything under the rug, so much so that you people find it unfathomable for these things to be true. The email describing the knife incident was so watered down. That child had every intent to harm and has been making verbal threats as well as been involved in other physical incidents. He is troubled as needs help that the school system cannot provide, much like dozens of other students attending SCES. Hopefully the new principal will prioritize the safety of the staff and students over their own public image and the image of the school.

I have a child in this school and asked for more details above. If you have them and are not providing them, it raises questions about your motives. Please answer the request for more details.

Raise whatever questions you want about my motives that has nothing to do with me. Like I said, the email was watered down compared to the truth of the situation and the child had every intent to harm bringing the knife to school. Ask your principal if you want more details.

You claim to know and you also don’t want to say (even anonymously)! Why is that?

DP. People don’t have to share if they don’t want to. JC.

The person is criticizing parents as credulous and incapable of/unwilling to hear relevant facts. If they know relevant facts and will not disclose them, it makes me doubt their veracity generally. JC.

That is totally fine with me! You can doubt the validity of whatever you want. We are here everyday seeing it with our own eyes. It’s not my job to disclose details that’s the job of the principal and the administration team. If you need proof to validate the facts that are coming from the mouths of the people in the building with your child everyday then you can reach out to the principal. You are no one to me to demand I give details on something I’m physically experiencing every single day. Believe or don’t believe. Maybe ask your kids because I’m sure they can validate everything being said.

If you are covering for violence taking place in a school—by refusing to provide details sufficient to enable real action about it—you are complicit in it.

I guess it doesn’t bother you. It would bother me if I were you.

It must not bother the principal since that’s the person covering it all. It bothers us all and that’s why many teachers and staff are not planning to return to SCES

I hope with the principal leaving more teachers will stay. I am a current parent and I believe you 100 percent. The principal is incompetent and not visible at all at the school — never outside at drop off, didn’t even greet parents at back to school night. Any time an issue comes up, her first reaction is to pretend it is not happening. Textbook gaslighter. I can only imagine how difficult she must be to work for.

Agree with PP. While our DC hasn’t been exposed to any of the recent incidents detailed here, we have no confidence in the current principal. She tried to trivialize an incident we dealt with last year (involving violent behavior that injured our child) and seemed annoyed that she had to interact with us at all. Happy to see her go - for the students and teachers. Otherwise, we are very happy with SCES; great teachers and community. The PTA is amazing.
