At the bottom of this article it say decades of sexual abuse has been investigated at the school, from 1950-2008. 
Awful and how is it still a school?[/quote]
I just clicked on the link in the bottom of the article. Reading about Gilman’s last exposed sex abuse makes this even more enraging. So the very same headmaster is still there? The rapist was already employed at the school back then, in 2007? Nothing will change when the board chooses to keep the same administrators who failed to keep the students safe from teachers who rape children, and failed yet again after all the promises to “monitor” teacher student activities. [b]Parents need to demand the headmaster’s immediate dismissal.[/quote][/b]

Absolutely not. He’s a wonderful man who is devastated by these events. I don’t believe for one second that he knew about abuse and did nothing. Parents who know who he is as a person are not speaking such nonsense.  -current Gilman parent[/quote]
1. Not his job to definitively “know” anything. He’s not an investigator. It was his job to immediately notify police when he heard the first rumor regarding potential illegal behavior of the teacher.
2. It was his job to enforce school policy instituted specifically to avoid repeated sex abuse perpetrated by its teachers. He knew teacher was “babysitting” students in their homes and driving them around in his car.
3. This isn’t his first rodeo. See news reports detailing the horrifying sex abuse that was discovered last time. [b]It appears none of the perpetrators were ever held accountable. How could that be?[/quote][/b]

Well, if you read the actual information, you would know that one of the perpetrators was dead by the time his deeds were discovered, and the other one committed his abuses in the 1950s. I assume that the time that passed would have made prosecution difficult.

I don’t understand why you are pushing this story about willful negligence, when there had been no evidence of such. As an early commenter said, he immediately notified CPS. Not sure why you think he didn’t.

Our recent call with parents, he urged anyone with any information to contact CPS. That’s not what a man trying to execute a cover-up would say.

I really can’t figure out your motive here for posting over and over about how Gilman must’ve known and is culpable and going down in flames blah blah. I can only assume you have some history with the school that causes you to take such relish in something terrible that happened to their community. Please find something else to do with your time.
