'Unsettling' behaviors, 'worn out' staff and 'potentially unsafe' situations has left one local school superintendent feeling the need to reach out to parents directly for help.
He said that all the documentation involved when a fight breaks out, or bullying unfolds, takes away from teaching and leaves his staff "worn out" at a time when schools are already faced with teacher shortages.
"There is a lot of fear among administrators and teachers that if they miss something, that if they don't do something well, that they are going to be held responsible for it," he said. McGarry reinforced the shool district's proactive programs to combat any violence within the schools, including youth courts, support programs and parent workshops.
Ending his letter by asking for "help as a community to rally around one another to overcome this adversity. No one part of our school community can do it alone. We need all involved in supporting students to be and do their best," On Monday, he once again called for a "united front" between school staff, parents, bus drivers and local law enforcement to create a safe space to students and their teachers at school."We need our parents to be supportive," he said. "Get involved. Get involved in your home and school, support your administration, support your teaching staff, and become a united front.
