Please. Stop.

LAMB had a great community feeling until a few months ago. Let's not ruin everything with this forum. Let's support each other, both those for whom the move is a terrible thing and those for whom it is the best thing ever.

It will take a long time. It will be a phased move. We will have time to adjust. Hopefully we will have bussing options.[/quote]

Mr Fernandez's actions -- and what was learned since then about the school's leadership -- ruined the school community. Not DCUM. [/quote]

Correct +1000. What do you think is more likely to affect community morale:

1. Mishandled communications strategy about prospective campus move; OR

2. Ignoring and covering up clear notice (from another faculty member) that a teacher had been sneaking students, alone, into an isolated storage area for almost 2 years, and THEN upon criminal child molestation charges being brought against said teacher, electing not to warn the families of students who had that teacher, and THEN sending out the lawyer to lie to its parents' faces about whether they had had any notice about said teacher being a molester. I don't care that the teacher in question was a friend of the administrators, in fact that makes it even grosser.

Although both show the same underlying problem, one is much worse than the other. The sad fact is there are child molesters in education, that can't be blamed on a school. But the craven, dishonest, self-interested, ignore-the-victims response absolutely can and should be blamed on the administrators.

Its the kind of thing that can destroy faith in a school, and that's exactly what's happened here. And those cracks are just growing larger and larger as the administration continues to make dumb decisions such as trying to move a 600 student school into a 300 student building that already has 75-100 students who aren't moving anytime soon.

The glory days of LAMB are over and the administration has no one to blame but themselves.[/quote]
