[Highland Park] forum for PPS parents
by olga watkins 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

If you are a current or former parent of a Pittsburgh Public School student or students and have experiences or problems and frustrations that you would like to share please contact me. My family has experienced recurrent problems with student safety related matters as well as with a lack of accountability from staff and administrators up to and including the superintendent's office. Although I've been quite vocal about addressing these issues, my complaints have fallen on mostly deaf ears and have netted zero progress or results. We are considering private school and I'm interested in communicating with parents who have pulled their children out of PPS to pursue alternative avenues of education. Please email if you have anything to share or just want to blow off a little steam. (I may also have a public forum available for anyone who wishes to tell their tale to an audience of more than one.) Thanks! Olga Watkins
