Dear Superintendent Carvalho, Karla Hernandez-Mats, and School Board Members,

Hello. My name is Bill Detzner. My blog is mdcpsallegations.com Mr. Carvalho, please share this email with all school board members and all members of the superintendent’s cabinet. Karla, please share this email with all members of the UTD Executive Council

I have contacted the Black Lives Matter organization and made them aware of the NINE YEAR on-going rape of Neva King Cooper (NKC) School.

I have some questions for the readers of this letter. 1) NKC principal Dr. Tracy Roos has allegedly physically assaulted a severely mentally retarded African American child. Are you ok with that? If so, are you ok with the fact that if Dr. Roos remains the NKC principal, there may be further allegations of her physically assaulting other African American severely mentally retarded children? Are you ok with that? 2) Dr. Roos has allegedly physically assaulted a Hispanic social worker who was an NKC staff member. Are you ok with that? If so, are you ok with the fact that if Dr. Roos remains the NKC principal, there may be other allegations of her physically assaulting other minority staff members? Are you ok with that? 3) Dr. Roos and assistant principal Mrs. Alicia Fernandez (Screamer) have allegedly cheated and received financial compensation for cheating on the Florida Alternate Assessment. (FAA), the high stakes achievement test given to severely mentally retarded children. Are you ok with that? If so, are you also ok with the fact that if these two administrators remain at NKC, there may be further allegations of them cheating on the FAA? Are you ok with that? 4) Dr. Roos allegedly cursed on a Zoom lesson presentation presented to the severely mentally retarded children last spring. I know you are aware of this event because myself and at least one parent sent e-mails to Regional Superintendent Barbara Mendizabal complaining about this egregious offense. (We received no reply whatsoever to our complaints.) Are you ok with Dr. Roos allegedly cursing during a Zoom lesson presentation? If so, are you also ok with the fact that if Dr. Roos remains the NKC principal, there may be additional allegations of her cursing during Zoom lesson presentations? Are you ok with that? Are you ok with the fact that Regional Superintendent Barbara Mendizabal allegedly failed in her MANDATORY obligation to report the alleged physical abuse of a severely mentally retarded African American child to the authorities? As you know, failure to report suspected child abuse is an offense so egregious that it can result in permanent forfeiture of one’s teaching credentials. Are you ok with the fact that if one or more additional allegations of child abuse against severely mentally retarded African American children at NKC occur,, there may be additional allegations that Regional Superintendent Barbara Mendizabal will also fail to report these incidents. Are you ok with that? Ms. Mendizabal (along with a representative of UTD) was allegedly on the NKC campus the the day after this alleged physical abuse incident occurred. 5) Assistant Principal Alicia Fernandez has been given the nickname of “Screamer” by the NKC staff/serfs. She has earned this nickname by “virtue” of the fact that she has on NUMEROUS occasions lost her temper and engaged in lengthy screaming temper tantrums . (In my case, Mrs. Fernandez screaming temper tantrum against me lasted for 20 minutes. As I am Caucasian, she let me off easy. Had I been a minority staff/serf member, her screaming temper tantrum would have been both longer and more vicious. ) I want to very strongly emphasize that although ALL staff at NKC are treated HORRIBLY by BOTH NKC administrators, African American staff are treated the worst of all. Mrs. Fernandez (Screamer) has had frequent lengthy screaming temper tantrums against African American staff/serfs. Are you ok with that? If so, are you also ok with the fact that if Mrs. Fernandez (Screamer) remains at NKC, there may be further allegations of her extremely lengthy and vicious screaming temper tantrums against African American staff/serfs? Are you ok with that? 5) As you already know, BOTH African American NKC staff/serfs and NKC African American parents refer to NKC as a “Plantation.” Are you ok with that? If so, are you also ok with the fact that if Dr. Roos and Mrs. Alicia Fernandez remain as the NKC administrators, one or more racial confrontations, perhaps involving physical violence may occur between the NKC administrators and the parents of African American NKC children and or the African American NKC staff? Are you ok with that?

I ask these questions because even if the readers of this e-mail are ok with one or more of these scenarios occurring, the Black Lives Matter organization will probably NOT be ok with these scenarios, and I am going to post this e-mail on my website.

I am asking that the following actions be taken immediately. 1) I am asking that both Dr. Tracy Roos and Mrs. Alicia Fernandez (Screamer) be immediately and permanently removed from their posts as the NKC administrators. 2) As a sign of good will from Mr. Carvalho, I am asking that Dr. Alberto Fernandez be reinstated as the NKC principal, and Mr. Henny Cristobal be reinstated as the NKC assistant principal. The NKC staff have a well founded fear that if Mr. Carvalho removes the present two NKC administrators, he will merely replace them with administrators as bad or worse than the present administrators. The NKC staff fears that Mr. Carvlho intends to punish them in perpetuity for the “crime” of pursuing the supposedly legally protected activity of attempting to convert from a public school to a charter school.

I have a final question for the readers of this letter. Would you prefer to make these two desperately needed changes now, or would you rather make the changes when confronted by a large group of angry Black Lives Matter demonstrators? If you wait until you are confronted by BLM demonstrators, they may also ask for the resignations of the school superintendent, one or more school board members, and perhaps the UTD president and some or all of the UTD Executive Council. You might want to refer to my blog (mdcpsallegations.com) for the numerous, in-depth descriptions I have given about the widespread discrimination against African American and Hispanic staff at NKC. I suspect this racial discrimination may be systemic throughout MDCPS.

Respectfully,

Bill Detzner

Hello, Mr. Thomas. The Neva King Cooper (NKC) stakeholders are alarmed and extremely angry that you have declined to respond to the last few emails I have sent you. The stakeholders have a question they would like me to ask you. I have asked you this question before, and you have not given me the courtesy of an answer. That question is: Will the educational bureaucrats in Tallahassee and Washington DC allow the Rape of NKC to enter its NINTH YEAR by allowing the two present NKC administrators to remain at NKC? If you do not respond to this email in a few days, the NKC stakeholders will assume that the educational bureaucrats in both Tallahassee and Washington DC intend to do nothing to end the danger that the severely mentally retarded African American students and African American staff of NKC are exposed to because of the present two NKC administrators. As a courtesy to you, I first appealed to you for help. As that help does not appear to be forthcoming, I will carry through with my plan to publish my correspondence with you with the Florida blog that reaches a million readers a month. If I am given a gag order, other NKC stakeholders will publish letters I have written to you with that million reader per month blog. The NKC stakeholders are shocked at the level of recklessness, lack of action, and arrogance you bureaucrats seem to have, even though you have been aware of the crisis situation at NKC for several months.

The NKC stakeholders find it difficult to believe that even though racial tensions in the US are at nearly historically high levels, and even though you are aware that it is a near certainty that one or both of the NKC administrators will provoke a racial incident, possibly involving physical violence in the near future, and even though you are aware that in the past Dr. Roos has allegedly physically assaulted both a social worker and a severely mentally retarded African American student, YOU GIVE THE APPEARANCE OF DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO PREVENT THIS EASILY AVOIDED RACIAL VIOLENCE FROM OCCURRING IN THE FUTURE.

I am asking you to take three actions. The first is to read my entire blog (mdcpsallegations.com)The second is to send copies of this email to Elizabeth Newton, Angela Tanner, Katrina Speights (she is the investigator for Miami DCF) MDCPS superintendent Alberto Carvalho, Florida Commissioner of Education Richard Corcoran, the Florida Department of Education Inspector General, and Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. If one or more entirely preventable acts of racial violence occur at NKC, I don’t want these people to bleat that they had no idea of what has been happening at NKC FOR EIGHT YEARS! The third thing I would like for you to do is to answer this email. The NKC stakeholders are particularly interested in what happened to Ms. Speights investigation of possible falsification of the report of alleged child abuse by either MDCPS regional superintendent Barbara Mendizabal, and/or Dr. Roos and Mrs. Alicia Fernandez. The NKC stakeholders would also like to know if Ms. Speights interviewed the mother of the severely mentally retarded African American child who was allegedly abused by Dr. Roos to determine if the mother was threatened into remaining silent by any MDCPS employee. The NKC stakeholders would also like to know if the MDCPS bus driver and bus aide were interviewed by the Miami DCF investigators, and if any MDCPS employee made any threats against these two bus people in an effort to silence them. The NKC stakeholders would also like to know if an independent agency, such as either the Florida Bureau of Investigation or the Federal Bureau of Investigation has investigated both the alleged cheating on the FAA by Dr. Roos and/or Mrs. Alicia Fernandez and possible falsifying of the report done on that alleged cheating by MDCPS officials in their investigation of that incident. If that alleged cheating on the FAA by Dr. Roos and/or Mrs. Alicia Fernandez occurred, they received financial compensation for those high test scores, and the proper punishment for such an offense is termination of employment and loss of pension. If MDCPS officials who investigated this alleged cheating incident falsified their report, the proper penalty needs to be levied against them as well.

The NKC stakeholders have a fear that the Miami DCF and the Tallahassee and the Washington DC educational bureaucrats exist NOT to punish administrators who physically abuse severely mentally retarded African American children or minority staff members, but to cover those racist crimes up.

Hello Mr. [Dwight] Thomas. My name is Bill Detzner. I have sent you numerous emails and telephoned you several times concerning the on-going Rape of Neva King Cooper (NKC) School. My self and the NKC stakeholders fear that yourself, and other high ranking Dept. of Education officials intend to do little or nothing to prevent the Rape of NKC from entering its NINTH YEAR when school resumes for the 2020-2021 school year.

I am asking that you forward this email to Elizabeth Newton, Angela Tanner, Katrina Speights, (katrina.speights@myflfamilies.com) MDCPS superintendent Alberto Carvalho, Florida Commissioner of Education Richard Corcoran, the Florida Department of Education Inspector General, the investigator for the Miami-Dade DCF, (Katrina Speights), and Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. If one or more entirely preventable incidents of racially based violence occur at NKC in the fall of 2020, I don’t want the above named people to bray that they did not know what has been going on at NKC for the last EIGHT YEARS.

To refresh your memory, (all of this material can be found in my blog mdcpsallegations.com) as DOAH 13-1492 clearly shows, MDCPS and superintendent Carvalho illegally smashed NKC’s attempt to convert from a public school to a charter school. Shortly after this tragic event. Mr. Carvalho paid his one and only visit to NKC. At that time, in front of witnesses who are still employed at that unhappy place, Mr. Carvalho made the following statement: “This is a MDCPS and it will always be a MDCPS. If anyone wants to change that, they are going to have to come through me.” The NKC stakeholders have a well founded fear that Mr. Carvalho intends to punish NKC in perpetuity for the “Crime” of pursuing the supposedly legally protected activity of converting to a charter school. For this reason, the NKC stakeholders are deeply fearful that even if Mr. Carvalho replaces the present two NKC administrators, he will merely replace them with administrators who are as bad or worse than the present ones, and the punishment of NKC will continue. For this reason, the NKC stakeholders are asking that as a show of good faith, that Mr. Carvalho reinstate Dr. Alberto Fernandez as the NKC principal, and Mr. Henny Cristabol as the NKC assistant principal for the 2020-2021 school year.

The NKC stakeholders feel that NKC has suffered collective punishment of the students, parents, and staff for EIGHT YEARS for the “Crime” of attempting to become a charter school. The severely mentally retarded students of NKC, who played NO PART WHATSOEVER in the conversion attempt, have been punished the most severely. As I have stated over and over again, these students are being put at risk for an entirely preventable violent death or injury in two ways. The students are at risk for choking to death on their food at mealtimes due to what appears to be NKC principal Dr. Roos willingness to use choking incidents at mealtimes to file potentially career ending charges against staff who have incurred Dr. Roos displeasure. I have discussed this issue exhaustively in my blog. The second way Dr. Roos appears to put severely mentally retarded children at risk (again discussed thoroughly in my blog) is that she has allegedly physically assaulted an African American severely mentally retarded student. NKC parents fear that due to what appears to be Dr. Roos seemingly fragile mental health, more of these alleged incidents may occur in the future. Mr. Thomas, you and other educational bureaucrats may wish to touch base with Ms. Speights of the Miami DCF concerning this alleged incident. If it is determined that this incident occurred, or if MDCPS and/or NKC administrators made threats against the parent(s) of this child to intimidate that parent(s)into remaining silent, or if MDCPS regional superintendent Barbara Mendizabal , Dr. Roos, and/or Mrs. Alicia Fernandez falsified their reporting of this incident to DCF, the NKC stakeholders very strongly believe that the appropriate penalties need to be imposed, including termination of employment and loss of pension if appropriate. If an investigation reveals that superintendent Carvalho has violated the law, he should be removed from his post if this penalty is appropriate. Also, as my blog discussed in great detail, there are allegations that both Dr. Roos and Mrs. Alicia Fernandez cheated on the yearly achievement test given to the students of NKC. The name of that test is the Florida Alternate Assessment (FAA) Dr. Roos and Mrs. Alicia Fernandez received financial compensation for outstanding student performance on this test, so if it is determined they cheated, the penalties of job termination and loss of pension need to be imposed. Again, I have discussed this extensively in my blog. There is also the matter of Dr. Roos allegedly cursing on a Zoom taped lesson presented to NKC students in the spring of 2020. Both myself and at least one parent sent complaints about this to regional superintendent Barbara Mendizabal and Jimmie Brown at the Office of Professional Standards at MDCPS.

As you may recall, BOTH African American NKC parents and African American NKC staff refer to that unhappy place as a “Plantation.” As I described in great detail in both my blog and in correspondence to Mr. Dwight Thomas, the probability of one or more highly volatile and possibly violent physical confrontation occurring between African American staff and/or parents and one or both of the present NKC administrators is extremely high, especially in view of the heightened levels of stress everyone is under due to the seemingly fragile emotional fragility of both NKC administrators, the Covid-19 epidemic, and the uncertain economic future we all face.

There is a popular expression that I think applies to the present unhappy situation we all find ourselves in. Myself and the other NKC stakeholders feel that we have little or no power or influence over what happens to the severely mentally retarded children of NKC. The NKC stakeholders feel that the educational bureaucrats in MDCPS, in Tallahassee, and in Washington DC neither know or care what happens to severely mentally retarded students, the most vulnerable and at risk population there is. The saying that the NKC stakeholders hope you will consider is: “We can’t make you do the right thing, but we CAN (and will) make you wish you did.”

We are hoping the readers of this letter will not once again turn their backs on us and ignore us. The NKC stakeholders hope to hear from you soon, and we hope you will choose to protect the severely mentally retarded children of NKC. Again, I have a friend who publishes a Florida blog that reaches a million people a month. I will contact him if little or nothing is done to resolve the on-going crisis at NKC. If I am given a gag order, there are several other people who have access to everything I’ve written, and who will continue my work.
