We Need YOUR Help Getting Stories into the Press

If you know anything about incidents this week at Nottingham and Frazer, we need help bombarding the media to cover them. Both incidents allegedly involved weapons and mace being brought into the schools and arrests being made. If you know anything, please contact the Post Standard and/or the TV channels to demand coverage.

  1. We need to thank Ken Strutz for getting this story out there! Maybe he should be our contact person instead of Paul Riede. Somebody from HW Smith should call him to report the shredded referrals! After all, HW Smith students usually feed into Nottingham! Maybe he will also reoprt the story how a principal was injured when he or she had to move a piano!

    1. No staff is to do heavy lifting. They are to put in a work order and the custodians or other staff are to mkve it!

      When staff step up and say no and can justify it...alot will change.

    2. The principal did the right thing by lifting the piano off the child who made it fall on himself by once again being disruptive in the classroom. I believe the story lies in the fact that despite the beauifully laid out pamphlet of programs that the district has that there are not enough slots availkable n these programs that are desperately needed for the wellfare of ALL students.

  2. Ken is the paper's crime reporter. The "tip" was given to Paul who must have passed it on to Ken because it was in his wheelhouse, so to speak...

  3. Most the situations that are going on in the SCSD are crime issues! Even the shredding of referrals is a crime as these are important documents that report fight, vandalism and bullying! If a member of government shredded documents he could be arrested!

    1. The department of justice needs to be aware. Principals are more concerned about schools being labelled as dangerous. Wait they are!

      Referrals are legal documents and unless disputed by a parent for how or what written and it be deemed inaccurate is another thing.

      Keep in mind that at many schools, the pink copies of referrals are not being returned to teachers, yellow copy not even sent home to parents...only for out of school suspensions when the should be anytime a student gets one. They arw also not coded correctly...let's give "other disruptive incidents...20" for what is insubordination, etc.
