One would think that those administrators and staff left behind after Mr. Robinson's flight from the district would be looking to see what happened and starting dialogs to open conversations and trying to discover the issues that they have been ignoring for years. However, behaviors have been eerily quiet and secretive.
The community has spoken by a two to one margin. The silent majority has been freed up to speak, but those in power continue to maintain the same behaviors... this is what got Mr. Robinson to the point where he ended, but these people do not have the same kind of iron clad contract that he did and in fact several of them are probationary.... you would think they would be trying to figure out how to get on the right side of the issues, rather than continuing to push their previous agendas...
When you look at some of behaviors below, it makes you wonder what else is going on.... and how will we ever get to the bottom of it all?
Spoiler alert!!!!
The following comments are rumor and innuendo, but from very reliable sources. The purpose of writing them here is to bring to light some of the issues that have been hidden behind the protection of Mr. Robinson. If you do not want to read hearsay rumors, stop reading now.
Reports from the different buildings have brought some strange rumors and curious sightings...
The head high school administrator is not the only one whose behaviors leaves much to be desired...
Apparently, Mr. Robinson and a distraught administrator were meeting in the administrator's office the other day (after his resignation). Secretaries, teachers and students were present when he came out.
Supposedly, a student turned a lighter and an aerosol can into a flaming torch at school and the new administrator of one of the LHS systems deemed him repentant and sent him on his merry way with no consequences.
Same administrator has apparently, also dealt with several serious behaviors in the same way... she has been dubbed "a walking liability." (Word to the wise, racist harassment, vandalism, intimidation and violence are things that should never be ignored and should always have a consequence.) Word has it that she also talks about the performance of staff with other staff...
According to some employees, the facilities director might also want to think about how he treats employees. Heavy handed leadership won't get far without Mr. Robinson's protection.
The special education director (who has no prior experience with Special education) has made some pretty inappropriate comments in meetings and has allowed parents to believe that teachers are the problem in circumstances where she has made the mistakes.
So where do we go from here???

So how many heads are going to roll now that the "majority" is in charge? Two administrators, special ed director, facilities director, three high school teachers, who else is on your hit list? This is not what I would call working together. I think in communist/fascist countries this is called a purge.
I did not support the recall but I also do not support this type of behavior either. I want to work with all sides to solve our problems. There are good ideas on every side of an issue.(and there are more than two sides!)
We would expect better behavior from a former military officer Ms.Lebanon Proof.
I don't believe that what was stated in the opinion demonstrated an inappropriate response but reporting "rumors". If you don't like the website and won't have an open dialogue, then don't look at it. And if you had children under this administrator and listen to what your children tell you, you might find that there are very bizarre things happening at LHS.
Hit list? Hit list? Isn't that what 'L.T.' has had for over a year now?!
The problem with rumors are just that, they are rumors. I doubt any teacher would not know about a flamethrower being made by a student. But none of the teachers I talked with know about the lighter and aerosol incident. Why don't we just stop with the rumors and only comment on facts. If the incidents listed are true, bring them up in a complaint to the school board. Then let the board decide upon action. I would like to see none of these be reported. The call for the removal of anyone should not be done, especially anonymously. Name the person directly, state facts, and then give an opinion. All the blogs around here seem to want to stir up trouble through anonymous attacks. I would like to see a bygones be bygones attitude. Let's build a sense of community and move forward.
