Leadership that hurts children's education in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS - Oct. 13, 2024 - PRLog -- Anonymous Teacher Releases Inside Leadership Issues Affect Students and Staff

To Whom this may concern,

I am writing to express my concerns following the board meeting held on September 30, 2024. Unfortunately, much of what was shared during that meeting included half-truths and, in some instances, outright falsehoods. I believe it is important to set the record straight.

I resigned from my position as an EL Paraprofessional at Legacy North Valley on October 10, 2024, after a short tenure. I want to acknowledge that I was not fully aware of the expectations of my role before starting, and after beginning, I found the training to be inadequate. The two EL paraprofessionals who resigned over the summer had spent much of their time playing games with students, which led me to believe that this was standard practice. Despite voicing my concerns to the administration, no substantive changes were made. Even this year, we received no proper training. Instead, we were provided with resources to print and distribute, which most of the EL students were unable to use due to their current academic level. The EL program at North Valley seems to prioritize financial gain for the school over addressing the actual needs of the students. I have also expressed my belief that many of these students do not have language barriers and should be evaluated for special education services instead.
