They allow kids to be assaulted on school grounds with no repercussions. They do not protect the students. The principals do not respond to parents when contacted about anything. Parents are left out of the loop. They allow bullying. They push political agendas on students without parental consent....

They are willing to work with you on getting it resolved! They actually let you be a parent! My daughter has done great...
