Both perspectives actually seem quite sane to me without having to name call or eye roll others.

But it still would give me pause knowing the admin turned their backs on kids. While it may not happen again, the thoughts still linger.

It’s not the same admin.

Pretty much the entire top leadership has turned over including most of the board now.

What made the school so strong to begin with? Is there any worry that -- while complicit -- the board and administration also were part of the school's success? Or is it more the parent population driving that? Or Montessori approach? Truly just curious. We applied to but did not get into the school and are now happily settled elsewhere. And again, do not think there is a right or wrong answer when it comes to parents' choices ... it seems reasonable to believe this has been handled and the school is now a better place and it seems reasonable to worry still. I just wondered if the school lost so many staff that it's just entirely a different place now or not?

Dead horse.

How dare you. PP was not talking about a metaphorical dead horse, but some 13 real live children who were harmed.

Dead horse.

My understanding is that there were up to 13 victims from different years during the 4-5 years he taught at LAMB.

I just read that report and its so infuriating. several people need to be in jail. I can't believe other parents didnt sign the petition for more transparency. Yall are drinking that LAMB koolaid for sure.

Which report?

There were more than two victims - read the criminal complaint for details on that.

Not every victim is suing although there are two separate civil lawsuits -- one involving 2 students, another involving a few others.

LAMB's charter was renewed last spring. Based on the grounds that the charter board is allowed to use for reviewing a school, academic achievement/growth and financial management, there was no reason for them to close it. They did make an unusual public statement urging the LAMB Board to do better by its parent community in the areas of communication and transparency. Read/watch it here https://www.dcpcsb.org/blog/statement-darren-woodruff-latin-american-montessori-bilingual-pcs

LAMB's insurance company is handling/representing the school in the lawsuits.
