Volusia County Schools

What are your plans on security? Because we shouldn't have to worry about sending our children to school....have you considered having someone come speak to the students explaining that last weeks shooting could have been someone they knew or loved??? Would they still find it funny or ok to do something like they did today? Could someone explain it could be a friend..someone sitting or standing next to them that gets shot if someone decides to bring a weapon to school and start shooting? Because next time it may not just be a phone case!!! 😡 Do you know how many parents or volunteers you could have monitoring the students as they come in to check their bags and them to make sure our students stay safe? I know it would take time. But what is a little time compared to losing a students or many students lives? I'm sure something could be put into place....it takes time and effort. Is this school willing to something or anything like this for that matter to ensure our students safety? I heard that some of Vets are even willing to volunteer... would not cost tax payers ANY money,.

Very unprofessional , the students will tell lies on you , the administration are against you and don’t help you in no shape or form this school system is all messed up. I called about my w2 they stated it’s been shipped but yet a week has passed and nothing has came . I do no recommend. They don’t care about anytime besides their schools been a A school, they don’t hear any of the kids out or anything

Have had ongoing issues with my daughters principal and administration at her elementary school, I’ve tried talking and settling with the principal, teacher, guidance counselor..no good resolution. I emailed the superintendent & the secretary TWICE with no response. They do not care about your kids!

Did NOTHING when I called to informed them about my son getting seriously injured at school and his school doing absolutely NTHING about it. Was being very sarcastic as if it were to happen to their kids they wouldn’t react the same way. They can care less about any child’s safety, these people need to hire new employees before they get shut down!

Zero is more like it! I have 5 children, from 20 to 5 . Over those school years I have had children enrolled in several different school districts and states. Not one of them other than this district has been so rude, uncaring, disregarding of students safety , unaccountable, than this district! Its ashamed because most of the teachers are great! The principals and the district board is horrible! Example, my youngest son is 5. This is his first year of school. Kindergarten. At his current school, they expect you to just drop your confused child off in morning at a cafeteria door. These doors are unlocked and not manned by any adult employee . There are 4 doors. My son who is 5 can just walk right back out one of those doors to look for me because he is upset that no adult has taken direct supervision of him such as his kindergarten teacher. With no adult manning the exit doors of cafeteria, my 5 year old is free to walk right back out the doors unsupervised! This is horrible! When you try to stay with your child until a accountable adult/ teacher physically takes direct supervision of your child, a principal who I shall unname , rudely threatened to bar you from campus for merely protecting your own child! During this drop off in morning, parents of the children are allowed three the main gate until 7:45 am. So on top of leaving your child without direct supervision and unmanned doors, you have stranger parents on campus with your unsupervised 5 year old confused child! Easily a target for these stranger parents to walk out with your child! I won’t stand for it! Not my child! Either block any and all parents from entering campus in morning, or man all cafeteria doors and not allow any children to leave the cafeteria without thier designated supervision or teacher! These are 5 year olds we are talking about! Some never being away from parents till starting kindergarten and they are vulnerable! It’s completely ridiculous to expect a parent of a 5 year old to leave them unsupervised with the availability to go out a door on thier own! I don’t leave a 5 year old unsupervised period! This is just one of the many problems so far I have with the district, calling them does nothing. They take your call and say ok. Then do nothing! Probably don’t even take note of your problems or issues.

The school board of volusia county professional level sucks. I had operators hang up in my face also ignored all phone calls after. I still haven’t spoken to anyone regarding the matter for the parents and students where are are rights who stands up for us I HATE THIS SCHOOLS SYSTEM SAD TO SAY

No Star 0 Palm Terrace is the worst school in this county! The Principal an vice principal should both be Fired from that school. They are running the school in to the ground! There is Violence tolerated every day in this School. My 9yr old Daughter has been physically assaulted by the same two boys for months. With today incident being My Daughter choked an kicked from behind. This school is a joke the only Caring individuals is Ceartin Faculty! Disgusted!
