Did anyone get to attend? How was it? I am curious about what the Minadeo parents had to say. It says a lot that they showed up to speak, but no one from U Prep. I know it is all relative, but the problems at Minadeo seem small compared to U Prep, yet they were well represented. The squeaky wheel gets the grease though, right?
I wonder if anyone mentioned this incident at Minadeo?

The 2 students were cited for "tumultuous
behavior." That certainly is a new one for PPS! The toy guns were discharged inside a classroom also.
The pellet gun used is no toy! Here is an image:

Minadeo-- mini-thread--it is really disturbing that bunches of adults are commenting on the airsoft guns and saying the students shouldn't be disciplined in the comments section of the trib article. They were playing with them in a classroom! Another student was shot in the back--fun fun--and then they or others n this blog will be complaining that these kids aren't getting a fair shot of education when they are lacking in middle school and high school. Let's blame the teachers for their shortcomings when the test scores are low! Because these kids came to school to "work and learn" as the promise pledge says-- right!
Air soft guns are very dangerous. My son went to Minadeo 5 years ago. I would have freaked out and called the news myself if that happened when he was there!
Truth be told, it wouldn't have happened at Minadeo 5 years ago because the former principal provided clear expectations for a safe learning environment unlike the principal who replaced her. That's a fact from a parent whose children attended this school under both principals.
Yes, I remember Ms. Getty.
We moved our kid to a private school that we couldn't afford in 6th grade. My husband worked directly for Roosevelt & Lane. He knew too much.
They didn't care and we had to get out.
The current principal is weak and lives outside the district. Enough said. Time to get organized!!!
Principals don't have residency requirements?
Data entry, clerical and most central office people are required to lIve in the PPS district. Even high level computer/technology jobs, which are hard to fill, have residency requirements!
I am fine with teachers living outside the district, but 6 figure adminisrators should not be exempt.
