I feel there is growth and improvement with much of the special education program and have personally had a good experience, but we need to continue to improve and not backslide to further push us away from the (earned) reputation that Bexley was not a good place for special education.

Bexley talks the talk about being inclusive and providing a safe environment for all students but this simply not the case. Racism and homophobic comments and slurs are abundant at Bexley at the secondary level. The environment middle school up is not a kind/safe space for marginalized groups and I’ve seen no plan to address it.

I’m new to the district, but I think that the emphasis I have seen on disciplining students (Monty cash comes to mind) limits students. The amount of praise for Veterans Day felt over the top. Many veterans are great. But they also are over represented in people who stormed the capitol.

I don’t see many weaknesses in Bexley, it is a highly sought after and desired community. A large desire to live here is  because of the schools. The weakness is the class sizes as it pertains to elementary. Too large of class sizes is difficult for teachers and the community.

The district cuts things without adequate plans to replace them. An example is cutting elementary Spanish with the plan to replace it with culturally responsive teaching. Culturally responsive teaching was supposed to replace it and to this date I’ve seen zero evidence of culturally responsive teaching while Spanish was cut during the pandemic. Our kids deserve better.

Decisions are made changing traditions our community has had for years with zero input from parents. A small example, but still impactful, is changing the policy around birthday celebrations at the elementary level. This was just done with no input from parents, and at Montrose no plans to replace it with something else that can be meaningful. Why can’t we come up with fun ways for kids to celebrate birthdays? They are only little once, let’s let them have fun.
