Spotlight on: Washoe County School District Trustees-Collen Westlake, District B; Adam Mayberry, District F
The threat of violence in schools begins as young as elementary school. A recent report from Marion, Ohio: “Marion City School teachers are now speaking out about the abuse, violence, and harassment they've been facing from students. Many of the incidents were from elementary students.” These incidents are reported, though often quietly, in schools across the country. Washoe County is one of them. Recent reports include murder of a student (off campus, but after many reports to school officials about bullying between students), teacher abuse from students in middle school to name just a couple of incidents.
In February, 2023, US News reported “A Big Rise in U.S. Teen Girls Reporting Violence, Sadness…“ Though schools may or should be the answer, it doesn’t seem to be working.
What is the role of the Trustees in the school system? What can they do to promote a safer, healthier environment for students and staff? How can they help to ensure students achieve at their highest potential? Trustee Westlake and Mayberry join What’s the Story Tuesday, March 21, 2023. Tune in at 3 p.m.

Thanks for addressing WCSD - the kids need us!
I personally know several teachers who are taking abuse from all directions. The FBI decided to put parents into a "domestic terrorist" category and parents rightfully fought back. Now some have taken it a step WAAAAY too far. If their child doesn't get an "A" for work not finished, punish the teacher. If their child has to sit our recess for punching another child, punish the teacher. If the child doesn't like the homework and refuses to do it, punish the teacher. So what happens... the administrations are now so afraid of the parents, the teacher gets punished and gets a "write up" in their employment file. Needless to say teachers are fleeing. NV has lost soooo many teachers that the ONLY requirement right now to get hired as a teacher is to have a High School Diploma or a GED. That's IT! The good ones are leaving, the Equity, CRT and Trans ones are brainwashing the kids. I'm so glad all my kids and grandkids are OUT of school!!!!!!! Hopefully people will come to their senses before my great grandkids start classes.
