(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I find some of the teachers to have a blatant disregard to their supervisors and their students' parents. My child's teacher played a controversial PG movie in class, ignoring County policy and procedures that state any rating over G must have written approval. Teacher did same thing the very day after principal spoke with her about it.
Also, 2010-2011 school year voted for uniforms for students, the teachers do not dress any better than the children, so I sure hope they are required to wear same uniform.

(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - We moved into this area over a decade ago because of this school AND we continue to remain in this area because of this school. This is an A-rated school with strong leadership and educators that work hard everyday to fulfill the high standards which are set forward! It's a shame that a few unhappy parents can complain to the point where a leader's career was shattered. We say take a vote at BRE from every family that sends a child there and see the REAL facts and opinions about our principal. He needs to stay at BRE where he belongs and the board needs to question the motives and integrity of those few that had complaints!!! Get everyone to vote and report those results!!!!! Let the parents decide!
