FEDS TO INVESTIGATE FWISD OVER SPED/DISCIPLINE

http://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/community/fort-worth/article37241166.html

The initial story from the STAR is that the FEDS are looking into violations of civil rights through out the area and that may be the case.  We also know that former staff and current staff have made complaints to the Office of Civil Rights concerning the unequal treatment of minority students among other things.

What we found ironic in the article is the picture they used of Neta Alexander, the infamous principal who was part of the unequal treatment of students dividing it among racial lines.  We knew white students were given more reprieve than hispanics and blacks.  If you recall an article about the soccer team punished heavily for an incident when white students would do the same thing and nothing would occur.  But the other part is that Neta was a favorite of Needham and everything there was covered up until people spoke up.

We know there is a lot hidden and hopefully this time we get answers.  We are still waiting on the release of the Department of Education Report that was closed to the public by our politicians.  We know our own Congressman Marc Veasey had it closed for FOI requests.  That report would detail the lies FWISD has used in reporting and how they have treated students.  We hope the FEDS stay here and help us out with many other things.

Dr. Scribner, I would ask for the reports and see what you can uncover because the issue has been buried and like anything old it becomes fossilized but the problem is still there.
