Wow, Sounds like he’s already been convicted.
social media is the new way to disperse information. Also, this page is a neighborhood news site that gets shared on a social media site. Would you rather hear about this later? Better to be aware to allow those who choose to ask questions and get answers rather than just complain.
Wow. This is huge. So sad for the District and so sad for the students — who will have (at least) three principals this school year. Combined with the upheaval in the athletic programs, the students are getting some hard lessons in how adults are NOT supposed to behave.
why is it that social media is always involved before we even can grasp an understanding of what has happened. I am not sure I like this page anymore.
Laura; Mr Hogan, our SSFUSD Superintendent contacted Everything South City this afternoon with this information. We waited until a voice message was sent to the guardians before publishing this on our website. From there we shared it onto our social media.
Thank you.
