Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
ARTH ping.
Reading that communication, I take away one message: “We are incompetent.”
It is further supported by “We are really incompetent and negligent.”
Additionally, it says “We support endangering your children at school.”
I miss the days when the term “drag” pertained to fast cars.
Nothing about “age-inappropriate material”?
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
If this is their first corrective action step and no one is fired...then they really don’t mean it.
“Review and enforce adherence to current policies and procedures”
They mention clearances.
Pennsylvania is the only state that requires state child abuse clearances that include multiple background checks and fingerprints for anyone in regular contact with children.
They are correct that these perverted mental cases don’t need a clearance for such an event.
However, it’s also unfair to make normal people jump through tremendous hoops when freak tenant sicko’s can perform live child abuse on children while their stupid parents clap like seals.
In other words, the expectation that kids attend and/or participate were communicated and enforced by staff, but nothing will be done about it.
Review and adjust related policies and record keeping guidelines as needed.
Again, nothing will be done about coercing attendance at these events. No staff member will be inconvenienced by this finding.
As has been consistently communicated, the district is limited in what it can share publicly about investigations involving students and staff, and cannot share the details of any disciplinary action due to an employee’s right to privacy.
In other words, a high-profile transgression will be met with a low-profile high-five - erm - slap on the wrist.
There is often a desire for more information to be shared publicly than can be done. That, however, should never be an indication that the district is ignoring a concern or covering up facts. The district is committed to addressing the issues that have been uncovered through this investigation and remains steadfast in our efforts to provide the best educational opportunities and experiences to all of our students.
In other words "Trust us!"
