Miami Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS) was recently the subject of a grand jury investigation concerning the statistically improbably low incidence of violent incidents that result in investigations, or even reports being submitted.
Dr. Tracy Roos, the principal of Neva King Cooper (NKC) astonishingly remains as the principal of the most fragile and vulnerable students in the county, despite THREE allegations of physical assault by Dr. Roos against minority students/staff of NKC.
It is my hope that Reverend Al Sharpton, attorney Benjamin Crump, and Florida Commissioner of Education Manny Diaz will open a three pronged investigation of MDCPS to determine if 1) Physical assaults and other forms of discrimination by white school administrators against minority students and staff is widespread throughout the district 2) The ratio of incidents of violence reported to the Office of Professional Standards (OPS) that result in investigations and convictions 3) Ways to encourage MDCPS schools that wish to do so to apply for a conversion from a public school to a charter school.
As MDCPS gives the appearance of being a criminal enterprise, it is my hope that Governor DeSantis will relieve Superintendent Dotres of his duties and place MDCPS under state control until such time as the district is in compliance with Federal and state statutes.
I am publishing only two of the recent emails I have sent to interested stakeholders. The first was sent to Superintendent Dotres on July 9, 2023. The second was sent to all 9 school board members on that same date.
Hello. My name is Bill Detzner. MY blog is mdcpsallegations.com On June20,2023, I received an email from District 9 School Board member Louisa Santos stating that she has filed a referral with the Superintendent’s Office regarding the allegations that NKC WHITE principal Dr. Tracy Roos has physically assaulted A SEVERELYMENTALLY RETARDED AFRICAN AMERICAN CHILD (Tadarian Williams), a Hispanic social worker, and an African American custodian (Ms. Sabrina Crawley Cross.)
Due to the fact that MDCPS has PRETENDED to investigate Dr. Roos on at least THREE occasions in the past, and absolved her of all guilt, despite several witnesses testimony, the very frightened and very angry parents of NKC severely mentally retarded minority students and staff regard this latest referral as literally not worth the paper it is printed on. The MDCPS investigative bodies exist not to investigate wrongdoing by administrators of the nation’s fourth largest school district, but to cover up that wrongdoing, and then retaliate against the whistleblowers.
Dr. Dotres, my suspician is that if the minority parents of these severely mentally retarded children did not fear retaliatory physical assaults by Dr. Roos against their children (with complete immunity by MDCPS officials), and if these parents did not have a very great fear that MDCPS will ignore any and all complaints they file, your office would be besieged by incredibly angry NKC minority parents.
Dr. Dotres, if Dr Roos is found to be guilty of the things listed below, I am asking that the following penalties be assigned to her: 1) Loss of employment 2) Loss of pension 3) An appropriate prison sentence.
As MDCPS investigative bodies have a well deserved reputation for covering up all wrongdoing by its administrators, I am asking Dr. Dotres to call in an independent investigative body to investigate the alleged physical assault of African American custodian Ms. Sabrina Crawley Cross by WHITE school principal Dr. Tracy Roos.
Please be advised that OVER A YEAR AGO, Ms. Crawley Cross submitted a lengthy report to the Office of Professional Standards (OPS) detailing this alleged physical assault. To the best of my knowledge, OPS did not even pretend to investigate this incident. Is this assumption correct? Please also be advised that Ms. Crawley Cross also went on workman’s compensation as a result of the injuries she sustained from this alleged assault.
A third party, without the knowledge or consent of Ms. Crawley Cross, submitted this workman’s compensation paperwork.
If this is true, it constitutes FRAUD against what I assume is a FEDERAL agency. Can the investigation please determine the name of the person who allegedly submitted or caused to be submitted fraudulent paperwork?
Also, it is alleged that Dr. Roos pressured staff who did not witness this alleged physical assault to submit statements absolving Dr. Roos of all blame for this incident.
Dr. Dotres, as it is my belief that MDCPS has no intention of imposing the APPROPRIATE penalties on Dr. Roos, I have contacted staff who represent Reverend Al Sharpton and attorney Benjamin Crump. Both of these staffs have assured me that they are interested in getting involved when MDCPS once again “blows off” the NKC parents and staff.
I want to discuss “the elephant in the room” before closing this email. As DOAH 13-1492 shows, MDCPS illegally smashed NKC’s attempt to convert from a public school to a charter school A very widely held belief among NKC parents and staff is that the ON-GOING, 11 year persecution of SEVERELY MENTALLY RETARDED MINORITY CHILDREN, and the minority NKC staff is punishment for NKC pursuing the supposedly legally protected activity of exploring converting from a public school to a charter school.
One of the things I hope will happen as a result of this investigation is that Governor DeSantis introduces legislation imposing SEVERE penalties on school districts that illegally smash school attempts to convert from public schools to charter schools. If that legislation happens, MDCPS will be flooded with applications to make this desperately needed change.
Dr. Dotres, I suspect that EVEN YOU would agree that a school superintendent who turns a blind eye to the physical abuse by a WHITE school principal of AN AFRICAN AMERICAN SEVERELY MENTALLY RETARDED CHILD, a Hispanic social worker, and an African American custodian is nothing more than a common street thug, a coward, a criminal, a racist, and a child abuser.
As both Reverend Sharpton and Benjamin Crump are polished and eloquent public speakers, I have no doubt they will bring this to the attention of the public in the near future.
I have written to you many, many times without you ever extending the courtesy of acknowledging receipt of my correspondence. I am hoping you will email me to acknowledge receipt of this email. My email address is billdetzner@bellsouth.net I am also hoping you will share this email with all 9 members of the school board.
This second email was sent to all 9 members of the MDCPS school board.
Hello. My name is Bill Detzner. My blog is mdcpsallegations.com On June 20, 2023, I received an email from District 9 School Board member Luisa Santos stating that she had filed a referral with the Superintendent’s Office, regarding allegations that the WHITE school principal of Neva King Cooper (NKC) School, Dr. Tracy Roos has physically assaulted a Severely Mentally Retarded African American child (Tadarian Williams), a Hispanic social worker, and an African American custodian (Ms. Sabrina Crawley Cross).
If Dr. Roos is allowed to return to the Nev King Cooper campus in the upcoming 2023-2024 school year, I am asking all 9 school board members to contact Governor Ron DeSantis and ask him to remove both school superintendent Dr. Dotres and NKC principal Dr. Tracy Roos from their posts for reckless endangerment of the most fragile and vulnerable children of all, the Severely Mentally Retarded children of NKC.
I have contacted the staff of both Reverend Al Sharpton and attorney Benjamin Crump. Both staffs have expressed an interest in getting involved if Dr. Roos is still a MDCPS employee for the 2023-2024 school year.
If Dr. Roos returns to the NKC campus for the 2023-2024 school year, my guess is that both Reverend Al Sharpton and attorney Benjamin Crump will generate quite a bit of negative publicity for any school board member who fails to phone Governor DeSantis to protect these extremely fragile and vulnerable children.
Today, (July9), I sent Superintendent Dotres an email expressing the 11 year, on-going crisis at NKC. If you need further clarification of the issues, perhaps Superintendent Dotres will be kind enough to share that email with you.
