Yet Another Emotional Meltdown For NKC Principal Dr. Tracy Roos

Good afternoon! Today is April 28, 2020. My name is Bill Detzner. My blog is mdcpsallegations.com A blog entry I would like you to read is titled “Letter to Dept. of Ed. IG and Secretary Betsy DeVos.” Keep in mind that this lengthy list of blatantly illegal activities by BOTH Neva King Cooper (NKC) School administrators (Principal Dr. Tracy Roos and Assistant Principal Mrs. Alicia Fernandez (Screamer) happened BEFORE the Corona Virus Pandemic. A question that is the entire point of this email is: IF BOTH OF THESE SEEMINGLY VERY ANGRY WOMEN WHO GIVE THE APPEARANCE OF BEING EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE PERFORMED SO MANY EGREGIOUS AND ILLEGAL ACTIONS BEFORE THE CORONA VIRUS EPIDEMIC, WHAT THINGS DO YOU THINK THEY ARE CAPABLE OF AFTER THE PANDEMIC PUTS THEM AND EVERYONE ELSE INTO A HIGHLY STRESSFUL AND HIGHLY UNCERTAIN FUTURE?

Dr. Roos certainly did not waste time in providing an answer to this question. On April 17,2020, at 10:30 AM, during a Zoom instruction viewed by Severely Mentally Retarded students, parents, and NKC staff, Dr. Roos allegedly launched into a profanity laced tirade (including but not limited to the word f*ck). A PARENT ALLEGEDLY HAS A COPY OF THIS ZOOM “INSTRUCTION.”

Keep in mind that this happened at a time which should have been a time of very low stress for Dr. Roos. There were no students or staff on campus. The only thing Dr. Roos needed to do was to participate in this Zoom presentation. Given the fact that Dr. Roos seems incapable of maintaining a professional demeanor in even the least stressful environment, how do you suppose she will react next August when she faces parents facing an INCREDIBLE level of stress due to the terrific financial and emotional stresses they will undoubtedly be experiencing?

If you have read the blog entry I suggested, you are aware of the fact that for the EIGHT YEARS Dr. Roos and Mrs. Fernandez (Screamer) have been the NKC administrators, they have, year after year, suffered from some of the lowest ratings on the annual parent satisfaction survey and the staff satisfaction survey in the entire district. You are also aware of the fact that BOTH African American parents and African American staff contemptuously refer to NKC as a “Plantation” due to what they perceive as the pervasive racial prejudice practiced by BOTH NKC administrators. You will know that Dr. Roos has allegedly PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED BOTH an African American SEVERELY MENTALLY RETARDED STUDENT and a social worker/staff member.

You will know that Dr. Roos allegedly ordered an African American custodian to deliver Dr. Roos threat to have an African American paraprofessional involuntarily transferred to another school. Dr. Roos made this alleged threat shortly after this African American paraprofessional ( a former winner of the paraprofessional of the year award) returned from an emergency leave. This leave was granted due to the fact that this woman’s daughter was murdered, in the same house where her five year old grandson was present, leaving the child highly traumatized. You will know that shortly after Dr. Roos committed this astonishingly harsh action, MDCPS saw fit to nominate Dr. Roos as a candidate for the prestigious Principal of the Year Award! You will know that although Superintendent Alberto Carvalho knwew what Dr. Roos had allegedly done, he did NOT rescind this nomination! As a result, the African American parents and staff of NKC have the perception that Superintendent Carvalho not only condones egregious acts of racism by his administrators, but handsomely rewards those extremely harsh and cruel acts of racism. If you have read my blog entry, you will know that both NKC administrators give the appearance of being vicious bullies, and that over the years, their bullying has gotten progressively worse. (Supposedly, MDCPS has a zero tolerance for bullying.) If you read my blog entry, I presented 3 horrific ways further bullying by either NKC administrator could result in a trip to the hospital for those administrators. Recall, I wrote this PRIOR to the Corona Virus, when stress levels were much, much lower. If you read my blog entry, you will know that many NKC stakeholders have the view that Superintendent Carvalho has deliberately kept NKC under lockdown and punishment FOR EIGHT YEARS as a punishment for the NKC stakeholders attempting to pursue the supposedly legally protected activity of converting from a public school to a charter school. The NKC stakeholders have the fear that Mr. Carvalho intends to punish NKC in perpetuity. They fear that even if Mr. Carvalho replaces the current NKC administrators, he will replace them with new administrators as bad or worse than the present administrators. For this reason, the NKC stakeholders are hoping that as a show of good will, Mr. Carvalho will reappoint Dr. Alberto Fernandez as the NKC principal, and Mr. Henny Cristobol as the NKC assistant principal. (My blog goes into great detail concerning the qualifications of these two people.)

My hope is that the readers of this letter will be able to see that after EIGHT YEARS of Dr. Roos and Mrs. Fernandez (Screamer), BOTH of these administrators have so deeply poisoned the well among all NKC stakeholders that they cannot continue as the NKC administrators.

I am asking that the Office of Professional Standards conduct an official investigation of Dr. Roos alleged profanity laced tirade. If it is deemed to have occurred, I am asking that the appropriate consequences be administered, preferably termination of employment at MDCPS. I am asking all 4 readers of this email to forward a copy of this email to Superintendent Carvalho. I am also asking that all 4 readers of this letter send a written recommendation to Superintendent Carvalho, urging that BOTH present NKC administrators be relieved of their duties as the NKC administrators. I am asking the 4 readers of this letter to recommend that Dr. Alberto Fernandez and Mr. Henny Cristobol be assigned as the new NKC administrators. I am asking that the 4 readers of this letter send me a written communication stating what course of action they plan to take as a result of this email. As I have sent several dozen letters to various MDCPS officials over a period of 5 years and heard literally not a word of response, I am not optimistic that this will happen.

In the bad old days, African American parents who were brave enough to insist that their children receive the best education the public schools were able to provide were terrified into submission by a burning cross on their lawns. Thankfully, those days are gone forever. The bad news is that the Ku Klux Klan appears to have been replaced by Child Protective Services. Although this agency declined to investigate Dr. Roos alleged abuse of a Severely Mentally Retarded African American child, and appears to have covered up her crime, they gave the appearance of being extremely zealous in investigating the two parents who in the past had the temerity to challenge Dr. Roos. I am guessing that many NKC parents view this agency as an evil entity that is worse than useless. On two previous occasions, NKC parents who lodged protests against the mistreatment their children were receiving at NKC were allegedly threatened with involuntary transfer of their children into foster homes (where physical and/or sexual abuse sometimes happens,) Indeed, one of the whistleblower parents in this current scandal has expressed the fear that his/her child may suffer this fate for his/her whistleblower activities. I am cautioning MDCPS against attempting this type of blackmail against these whistleblowers. As there are a GROUP of parents currently challenging Dr. Roos, (plus a tape of the Zoom presentation) it will be much more difficult to silence them. I have contacted numerous media outlets and told them of this latest scandal. Any retaliatory measures taken by MDCPS against these whistleblowers would be seen by the public in a highly unfavorable light. As I see MDCPS as a criminal enterprise that exists not to police itself but to cover up its crimes, I will also be sending letters to various Florida and Federal education bureaucrats. Finally, as there are no charter schools for Severely Mentally Retarded students and the parents of these children have no choice but to send their children to NKC, MDCPS has a DUTY to provide competent administrators (such as Dr. Fernandez and Mr. Cristobol.)
