Rob For School Transparency

Continued failures and lies from The School District.

August 12th Board Meeting, 6:18… Board Member “Are we fully staffed for the current school year?” Supervisor of Personnel: “We are almost fully staffed. We just have a few more vancancies to fill… but very few”

Every parent of every little girl seems to be pi**ed off at the Old Guard of the St. Bernard Parish School District today regarding skirt length.

We have had the same rules forever. We go shopping at the same uniform stores we always have. Those stores carry the same product they always have.

Our community is also poor, and we do what we can. A significant portion of the student body is very likely wearing the same clothing they had last year… some parents can’t afford new clothing every year.

The School District has no reason to require the purchase of something that cannot be readily found available for purchase in The Parish. I would imagine they also don’t have “knee length” skirts to give away to the entire student body….

The only resolution to this issue is to move the rule back to what it was previously.

Social Media for Kids blowing up all weekend because The District doesn’t understand how to use their own scheduling software… First ‘oops’ of the year from a continuously incompetent Central Office.

Today is the first time in the history of this page i’m willingly removing a post.

A few parents contacted me concerned about a sensitive issue that happened at one of our middle schools yesterday, and asked me to share with the public.

From those that responded to the original post, I learned that some parents were informed of the incident, some were not.

This is, overall, a step in the right direction for The District… but I do believe a true commitment to transparancy goes further than what was done.

Please maintain an open dialog with your children, stay aware of what’s happening in their lives, and offer a ear if they need one.
