August 29,2018 letter

29 August 2018

Dear Senator Nelson,

Hello, my name is Bill Detzner, and I live in Miami, Fl. My blog is mdcpsallegations.com I am writing this letter to you regarding the extremely dangerous and deplorable conditions at Neva King Cooper School (NKC) a public school for severely mentally retarded children in Miami Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS). During the time that Rick Scott has been the Florida governor, the Miami schools superintendent (Mr. Alberto Carvalho) has illegally smashed NKC’s attempt to convert from a public school to a charter school. (DOAH 13-1492) Mr. Carvalho has been illegally punishing the entire staff of NKC for SIX YEARS. As my blog explains, (mdcpsallegations.com.) Dr. Roos, the NKC principal, gives the appearance of being both an extremely vicious and vindictive person, and a person who appears to be in very fragile mental health. As a result of these two conditions, the situation at NKC is very volatile. As my blog explains, the majority of the African American staff of NKC feel that both principal Tracy Roos and assistant principal Alicia Fernandez are racists. As my blog explains, for the last 3 years, Dr. Roos appears to have cultivated a situation where Profoundly Mentally Handicapped (PMH) children appear to be deliberately exposed to a danger of choking to death on their food in an effort to terminate staff who exercised their (supposedly) protected right under Florida law to explore conversion to a charter school. Both the New York Times and the Miami Herald are exploring the possibility of doing one or more stories on the SIX YEAR crisis at NKC. I am sure you understand the avalanche of negative publicity Governor Rick Scott will receive if those two newspapers publish stories showing Governor Scott has been aware of this situation for a considerable period of time and done NOTHING for children who literally cannot speak for themselves. Most people have a soft spot in their heart for mentally retarded children, and they have VERY strong feelings about public figures (such as Governor Rick Scott) who do not take measures to protect our most vulnerable citizens. Senator, Governor Scott is currently running a t.v. ad where he accuses you of cheating on Medicare and other taxes. If you were to air a t.v. ad showing Governor Scott’s neglect (for SIX YEARS) of children so severely mentally retarded that they literally cannot speak fore themselves, perhaps it will spur the reluctant governor to take some LONG, LONG overdue action to protect these vulnerable children. Senator, I am a political atheist. I do not care whether you or Governor Scott win the Florida Senate seat. What I VERY passionately care about is the fate of PMH children. My friend will be whichever of either yourself or Governor Scott take appropriate action(s) to protect PMH children. Senator, I am asking you to take any of the actions mentioned below that are within your power to take. I am asking you to immediately relieve both principal Tracy Roos and assistant principal Alicia Fernandez of their duties. If there is cause to also remove Superintendent Carvalho of his duties, that should also be done. Finally, if you have the authority to ask an investigative body (such as the National Labor Relations Board) or any other investigative body independent of MDCPS to do a complete audit of both MDCPS and NKC, that would be very helpful.

Governor Scott cannot claim not to know about the SIX YEAR crisis at NKC, because I have sent him (Governor Scott) 3 certified letters about the NKC crisis, and I have kept the green return receipt requested cards, proving his office received those letters. I have also sent 3 certified letters to the Florida Dept. of Education, Office of the Commissioner. Again, I have kept the green return receipt cards, proving that office received that correspondence. Finally, on February 7, 2018, I sent a letter to the 21 (TWENTYONE) Republican K-12 education committee members of the Florida Senate and House. I am including a copy of that correspondence with this letter. (for the record, I did not send any correspondence to any Democratic Party members of the Florida K-12 education committee.) Those House Republicans are: Michael Bileca, Jennifer Mae Sullivan, Larry Ahern, Manny Diaz Jr., Byron Donalds, Jay Fant, Jason Fischer, Chris Latvala, Amber Mariano, Rene Plasencia, Mel Ponder, Elizabeth W. Porter, Jake Raburn, and Charlie Stone. The Republican Senate members include: Dorothy L. Hukill, Debbie Mayfield, Bill Galuano, Tom Lee, Keith Perry, David Simmons, and Wilton Simpson. Please feel free to contact me if you need further information from me.

Sincerely,

Bill Detzner
