Dear Karla,
Hello, my name is Bill Detzner, employee 146782. In my last certified letter to you, I told you that Dr. Roos, the Neva King Cooper (NKC) principal, allegedly sent Mr. Jackson, an NKC custodian, to deliver a verbal message to Mrs. Green (another NKC staff member) shortly after the brutal murder of Mrs. Green’s daughter. That message was that if Mrs. Green was unhappy at NKC, Dr. Roos would be happy to arrange a transfer to another school for Mrs. Green.
Today I received a phone call from an NKC staff person alleging that after this incident, Dr. Roos summoned Mr. Jackson to Dr. Roos office for a lengthy, closed door meeting. At this alleged meeting, Dr. Roos allegedly threatened to terminate Mr. Jackson’s employment at NKC if Mr. Jackson did not agree to recant his testimony. Ms. Hernandez-Mats, I am BEGGING you to pick up the telephone and ask Federal labor law lawyers to conduct an in-depth investigation of Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS) for systemic egregious labor law violations. I am also asking UTD to ask Mr. Carvalho to remove Dr. Roos and Mrs. Fernandez as the NKC administrators as soon as possible until the numerous contract and labor law violations against them have been investigated. Please share this letter with all members of the United Teachers of Dade (UTD) executive board. Please also find enclosed a copy of the 14 areas of concern that need to be investigated at NKC, and a copy of my October 14, 2017 letter to Mr. Carvalho. I am also asking that if Dr. Roos and/or Mrs. Fernandez are found to be in violation of one or more laws, that they receive a penalty commensurate with that violation(s).
In Unity,
Bill Detzner

Terrific post however I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this subject? I’d be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit further. Thanks!
Sorry, I didn’t see your request for clarification until today. Have you heard the expression: “Truth is stranger than fiction?” Well, shortly after this incident occurred, MDCPS saw fit to nominate Dr. Roos as a candidate for the prestigious Principal of the Year Award. It kind of makes a person wonder; If Dr. Roos is one of the BEST principals, can you imagine what the underperforming principals must be like?
As far as UTD President Karla Hernandez Mats taking action on behalf of union members at Neva King Cooper School, she has never lifted a finger to enforce the contract.
You actually make it seem so easy along with your presentation however I find this topic to be really one thing which I feel I would never understand. It sort of feels too complex and extremely large for me. I am looking ahead in your next put up, I will attempt to get the hang of it!
