Mifflin High principal fired
Official should have called police after sexual assault on student, board says
Wednesday, April 06, 2005
Bill Bush THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
The Columbus Board of Education fired a high-school principal last night who failed to call police after learning that a female student had been sexually assaulted by four male students last month in the school auditorium.
The board voted unanimously to place Regina Crenshaw on unpaid leave from her $95,300-a-year post at Mifflin High School starting today and to begin terminating her contract.
Crenshaw could not be reached after the meeting.
Three assistant principals — Vincent Clarno, Suzie Retterer-Helfrich and Richard Watson — were given 10-day, unpaid suspensions and will be assigned to other schools when they return.
"We were very concerned about the actions that were taken — or lack of actions that were taken — by the administrative team, and particularly the principal," Superintendent Gene Harris said.
The parents, police, Franklin County Children Services and district administrators should have been notified immediately, Harris said, with the order depending on the situation.
"Our administrators must use some common sense," Harris said. "There are some situations where the first entity that would be notified would be the lawenforcement agency."
On March 9, a 16-year-old girl told school officials she had been sexually assaulted by four male students in the Mifflin auditorium. The girl’s father had to call the police himself and take his daughter, who is developmentally disabled, to Grant Medical Center.
Police said that the assault occurred about 1:15 p.m., and that her father was at the Northeast Side school, 3245 Oak Spring St., by about 2:30 p.m. Detective Mary Harrison, of the Columbus police sex-abuse squad, said an investigative report will be turned over to prosecutors within two weeks.

In the article, it states that Northland is now home to one of the largest concentrations of Somalis in the US. Columbus, Ohio is home to the second-most Somali immigrant population in the US. It started in 1996. Black Hawk Down - 1993. Yet another Clintonista success.
If you go to mapquest, Northland, Ohio is a little too close to Mifflin High School.
Not at all. Do you expect them to use their salary dollars to pay teachers?
Hey, in that sort of place, the fact that the girl has a father is a big plus. Besides this sort of thing is "Dad's business". Preferably conducted with a Remington 700.
Did you catch the 3 Instructional Assistants, all with the last name of Mohammad? All in ESL, plus one teacher in ESL named Ali Hussein. Now I think I understand the problem
The Columbus Public School Board is an absolute joke. They have been since I can remember. I attended a Columbus Public School for two years and my folks put me in a Catholic school after that. Thank God they did! I hate to say it, if my folks had not done that, I would be radically different, maybe even dead.
Board Members Boyd and Cabot are Republicans and are listed so on www.franklincountygop.org. They are definitely establishment RINO's who were put in by the establishment last year as they ran as a team with Stephanie Hightower and another member to get rid of Bill Moss.
I only voted for one board member last year and it was BILL MOSS. He is a nutjob and a Democrat but he is the only one down there that gave a damn about the kids, was not afraid to take on the establishment, and call out certain board members on wrongs they did.
He would have a field day over this.
...and you thought all those budget increases for education actually went to benefit the students. Silly. ;-)

Not in the way that's usually ment, meaning "Nation of Islam" or one of it's offshoots. These are black African muslims from Somalia (or their parents are from there at least)
It was reported or at least listed under March 10, 2005. See post #68.
But the ROP ethic often does.
That was as disturbing as the violence done to the girl. And does anyone know why the kid was video-taping it? That makes it sound very pre-planned. They all belong in a zoo somewhere....and not a nice one.
Everyone from the teacher charged with supervising that room, to the lowliest Assistant Principal at that school to the Superintendent of the district should be immediately fired and charged with negligence.
Mayor Mike Coleman has previously said that Columbus Public Schools are not under his control, yet he is running for Governor. Judging from this incident, he obviously is more concerned with his political future than about this outrageous incident. The City Council is completely Democrat, like the Mayor. The school board, as I said in an earlier message, is inept. The silence from the City is deafening.

The Franklin County Commissioners look more over the County, yet they are now a Democrat majority. They RATS campaigned on the fact of better relations with the city as why they should be re-elected.

Ohio Governor Bob Taft is highly unpopular in this state and if he were up against an infant for an election today, the infant would win in a landslide. Do not be surprised if any of the statewide officials speak out about this. They are all running for governor.

The State Senator for this area is under investigation for theft-in-office. The State Representative has been silent.
The Congressman for this area is Pat Tiberi. He is very capable and solid.

There's a story on onnnews.com., 'Documents Detail Student's Assault'.Reporterette on tv clip states that this girl's name is mentioned in 2 other incidents at the school-?
"Even the Protestant ethic wouldn't countenance this..."
Indeed.
Thanks for the info!
I was looking on the wrong date.
That explains a lot. Thanks for the incite. I emailed every single one of them.
Hope they change something now.
