Mifflin High Principal Fired

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.

Yea, and I just heard the new term for a BJ is giving someone a Monica. Oh, how I yearn for the morally relative days of Klintoon! </sarcasm>

Well it's not like these boys did anything really bad, like drawing a picture of a gun.

"What do they think this is, the American Catholic Church under Bernard Law?"

Or perhaps the fruits of the Protestant ethic?

"If it's a very large school, no. I went to high school years ago and we had at least three. We didn't have them in middle school though. Just one principal."

Three vice principals is plain ridiculous, imo. When I attended HS in the middle to late 1950's the school had over 3000 students and was on double sessions while a new junior HS was being built. Even with these double sessions the classes in many cases had around 40 students in them. With all that the school was rated in the top 10 academically nationwide.

We had ONE Principal and ONE Vice Principal.

Well, did anyone ask if a sexual assault took place? My guess is the person answering phones is using semantics.

Maybe it's just me, but isn't it unusual for a school to have 3 vice-principals?I'd sure say so.

Egads, could this mean that these kids are back in school?

E-mailed 610WTVN in Columbus, to see if they could verify LE does in fact have the video tape. He replied to me: "It is my understanding they do have some sort of video." "Some sort"?? What the heck? Does the school possibly have their own surveillance tapes, or what?

92% black ethnicity vs 12% average of all Ohio 9-12 grades

That I understand; what I don't understand is:

Instructional Assistants:
Mohamed Ramadin, ESL
Abdillahi Mohamed, ESL
Ahmed Mohamed, ESL
Omar Ail, ESL



"ESL" is "English Second Language" which means these assistants are trying to teach English to muslims? Are a lot of the students of the Islamic religion?

Are a lot of the students of the Islamic religionI don't know. Wouldn't be surprised if a good percentage of them are black muslims.

Godalmighty.

Every d**n one of 'em, juvies and adults, ought to be in JAIL.

Suspended? SUSPENDED? I got suspended for getting into a fight with my school's resident delinquent.

THIS is NOT a 'suspension', this is a bloody prosecution. You tell me you can't prosecute these little bastards as adults? THEY ASSAULTED A LITTLE GIRL. An MR/DD girl. Good God.

Kneecap 'em.

The change to the Mifflin High website must have been fairly recent. Google still has the old listing as a cache:

Mifflin High Original Staff Page

hopefully this link works . . .

Too bad Marshall Cobb, Security, did not lose HIS position.

How does this man, the head of security, get away unscathed?

Good. That's a high enough salary to be painful for her to lose. The others need to go, too. Heck, ANYONE that saw or knew of this happening is guilty in my book.

Un-freakin-believeable!

I believe many of these may be Somali as there is a big Somali illegal immigrant problem around Columbus.

Even the Protestant ethic wouldn't countenance this...
