My child had a confidentiality breach from an EA at this school. My child's location and attendance to this trip was released by an EA to a family member that had zero contact for the last 4 years. He was then left unattended on the trip where the family member approached my special needs child and then was taken away from the group. I had shown up at that point for the field trip and found my child left unattended with this individual. At that point no one would own up to why my child was released to this person. Mr Cook the principal who is out of tenants at this field trip showed very little care about the incident and even after the fact that this was brought to the board still showed very little care This isn't the first time I've experienced this with Mr Cook when in regards to my child's safety (As my child had been attacked by another child in the school prior). Mr Cook then protected this EA and refused to have any disciplinary actions happen other than re-educating on confidentiality. My child's information continued to be leaked by the EA after the fact and still nothing was done about it. It came to the point where I had to remove my child from the school due to Mr Cook's negligence.
I’m an educational assistant. I work in a small class. I’m hit kicked and punched every day at my job. There have been days that I go home unable to take care of my own young children due to injuries
I am an educational assistant. I work in a small class with special needs students. I am hit/kicked on a regular basis. I’ve needed to leave work to see a doctor. Thankfully I’ve never been off long term, yet. We are constantly short staffed. We sometimes have to evacuate our class due to a violent student. Our admin are great and do their best to support us. These students need more help, more support. We are failing these students because our hands are tied by the board and the government. Students and staff should not have to be fearful to go to school/work.
