In Joynes’ case, according to court documents, the principal of New Hampshire Estates Elementary placed a variety of restrictions on him in November 2011, including “activities only in public areas, classroom door to remain open during instruction, stay off playground during recess, no sitting at the cafeteria with students, use of staff restrooms only, don’t be alone with any student in classroom, and no touching of students in any form.”

@state - the document you link does not say what you suggest. Stick to the facts.
ReplyDelete@state - Secretary letter doesn't say what you think it says. Look up definition of words. Stick to facts.
DeleteThe state Board of Education ripping MCPS a new one for how the school system handled Daniel Picca should be enough inspiration to figure out a better practice.
ReplyDeleteOne does wonder how Daniel Picca was outright fired but Larry Joynes kept his job.....
ReplyDeleteNot that it’s completely on topic…
ReplyDeleteWe, as parents, implemented our own restrictions. After continuing harassment by an MCPS school counselor against our child and reaching a related settlement with MCPS, we insisted that language be added to our “mutual” Agreement, which called for the removal of the counselor in question (i.e. the counselor was not fired, but would not allowed to serve as our child’s counselor or to have contact with our child and was subsequently replaced by another in-school counselor). MCPS agreed to this and codified this in our Agreement, which was executed by high level MCPS personnel (i.e. someone immediately under Starr).
What happened to the principal the Coalition highlighted with young boys in closets?
ReplyDeleteThe principal who took kids in closets, Floyd Starnes, is still principal at Kemp Mill Elementary School. Bronda Mills, community superintendent is in charge of Kemp Mill and New Hampshire Estates where Joynes worked. Staff and parents repeatedly reported both of these men to MCPS and CPS. Joynes is now in jail. Starnes is still the principal at Kemp MIll Elementary.
