The email is completely ridiculous. It sounds like maybe it was written by one of the staff.

Or a parent that used to work there in some capacity that is holding a grudge.

That’s how I took it. People need to get a life.

That’s what I said to my spouse. I’ve got a full-time job I don’t have time for this BS. if there is an issue with school safety, let’s address it for sure. But my kids are learning and doing well. I’m not sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong. Some people have too much time on their hands.

There isn’t.

Did not Pr. Smithsim communicate recently about improving safety? It sounds like he is being responsible.

When?

Search for an email from the principal that was sent on March 15th. What further elaboration do you need?

In the March 15 email, I don’t see anything the 2 events mentioned in the email. The March 15 email references a different incident.

It has been announced that he will be having a meeting with parents later this week. It would be a great opportunity to make the appropriate inquiries.

I’ll leave that to the people who sent the email. I could care less.

The email asks parents to register and go to a community meeting at another school. This doesn’t seem right at all.

Anyone from the FCPS community is invited to come and that school is the location where the meeting is behind held. It is a community wide event and not specifically for that one school.

Except the email specifically is encouraging Navy families to come and air grievances about the new Navy principal. Shame on whoever is involved.

All this because the new principal isn’t as easily swayed by PTA moms?

I thought it was because there were 2 incidents not reported to the parents.

I'm not going to paste the email, but it made reference to a couple of recent incidents where there was apparently police involvement but the school community was not notified. I can't verify whether the information is true or not -- I had not heard anything about either incident. It is concerning if true. The other part of the email referred to staff feeling unsupported. That part came off more whiny to me and not something that a parent should be bringing up on behalf of teachers, in my opinion. It makes the teachers look bad. Clearly someone is complaining to parents. Even if you hate your principal that is unprofessional. At Navy the lines between parents and teachers are a little too blurry sometimes. Maybe parents shouldn't be allowed to frequently sub at their kids' own school. You want to make money as a sub, do it somewhere else. Don't do it so you can spy on your kid's school day and get the best teacher placements for your kid.

This gossip shouldn’t be spread in a malicious email like this. This quite frankly is looking more and more like a witch hunt. It honestly all sounds like sour grapes.

For police involvement I was there when the cop interviewed a kid next to the sign in sign out laptop. I think the interview should have taken place somewhere more private.

Now that is concerning. I sincerely hope the administration did not allow a child to be interviewed by a cop in the single most public place of the school.

This poor man has to deal with you people and your incessant nitpickery.

“Interview”? BS. More like a question.

I would be way more concerned if it was done in private without parents. Stop drumming up faux outrage.

It's all about trying to get Coch back. The email didn't mention him, but that's what it's really about. It is not going to happen, but the parent/parents that had a lot of influence with him won't let it go.

Yes, I believe that.

I feel bad for the new principal. Those of you looking for teaching jobs steer clear of this "community".

It's a handful of nutjobs with nothing better to do other than drumming up faux outrage.
