[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Travilah is a well sought out school. Unfortunately, there have been underlying racial issues with some staff and parents which has tainted the school and created false narratives of the principal being “angry”, “aggressive” and “hostile”. Non-white students, staff, and parents (I am a parent myself that has experienced this) have been mistreated and disregarded by some of those “beloved” teachers and front office staff that are no longer there. Unfortunately, there has been retaliation of the principal for bringing these issues to light to camouflage the racial issues that have been haunting the school for years. I’ve had several children attend Travilah and have never seen such a witch-hunt by some of the staff and a few parents. Despite amazing gains with student achievement (top 6% of schools and 5 star rating), increasing test scores (all of which have continued to occur within the last five years) there continues to be a few that want to create lies and false narratives to mask what is really going on. Don’t be fooled. Many of the families are tired of it and ready to speak out about the racism that goes on there towards staff of color and students. [/quote]

Wait what is going on here??? What racial issues have “haunted the school for years?” ??? What racism are the staff of color and families of color experiencing in a school that is over 70 percent people of color if not more?  There are already not a majority of white families at Travilah.   
Staff is diverse. Teachers diverse. Parent and student populations are super diverse. Families of every color from all over the world. What is going on? Just state it plainly and stop “haunting” this page. It’s not fair to those who love the school and are in a position of privilege to not see the racism and want to help shine light on it and heal.[/quote]
