Update ! Rumored ! Incident happen in the hall during lunch in empty hall and was fondling which brought attention of students. As I said, rumored ! If true, one could speculate there is more in the way of a relationship.
UPDATE FROM GHS PRINCIPAL DR. SHERRY GROSS
Thursday, January 26, 2012
Dear Glasgow Parents/Guardians,
Last night, Delaware State Police conducted an investigation into an allegation of inappropriate contact between a staff member and a student.
There are still many elements of this incident that remain unclear, and we are cooperating fully with the State Police on this matter. The Delaware State Police spokesperson stated today that they are currently investigating the incident that occurred at the school, and at this time they are not prepared to make any comments on the incident until the conclusion of the investigation.
As you know, there have also been many rumors circulating since yesterday, and much of the information has been unsubstantiated or incorrect. During this period of ongoing investigation, I would like to request that students, staff, and parents share their concerns directly with school administrators, and that we work together as a school community while this issue is still under investigation.
I sent an email to all Glasgow High School staff members this morning instructing them that if any student is concerned and would like to talk with someone, that student may meet with me in my office. I cleared my calendar for the day so that I could provide time to talk with students. I will also work with students to engage their family or other support as needed, and we will make our school counselors available to students. As parents, we also ask for your support in talking with your students about the importance of maintaining safe and appropriate interactions with both their peers and adults they come into contact with.
We also plan to reach out to the District Attorney’s Office to explore training opportunities for all staff members at Glasgow High School on appropriate encounters between students and staff and appropriate teacher-student relationships.
I believe that together, with consistent and aligned communication that supports the good of the entire school community, we can minimize distractions to the learning environment during this challenging time. Please feel free to share your concerns and feedback directly with me or one of our Academy Leaders.
Respectfully,
Dr. Sherry Gross
Campus Principal
Kilroy says: WTF does this bullshit statement mean; “There are still many elements of this incident that remain unclear, and we are cooperating fully with the State Police on this matter.” ? You can bet the New Journal will have the full scoop in the A.M.! Was there an alleged Rape? Did the alleged incident happen on school grounds? I’ll bet the staff person has been charge with whatever at the crime! No why this information release would have been made unless charges were filed.
“I sent an email to all Glasgow High School staff members this morning instructing them that if any student is concerned and would like to talk with someone, that student may meet with me in my office”
Is this lady on crack ? If element of the incident are unclear what is it student would like to talk about? OMG meet me in my office!!!!!!! Screw that go to your parent and the police! Provide a number to the lead detective parents and students to call. Last thing we want is a school principle to screw-up a criminal investigation! Why in the hell didn’t the district communication office make this communication? Honestly, I urge students and parents to go to the police!! PLEASE !

If they really need training on this, they shouldn’t be working at a school. Sheesh.
What the FUCK !!!!!!! Must be part of process for PZ Schools? I think it would be better for the AG to come in an talk to students about how to identify sick mother fuckers who want to get in their pants. Sorry for the bad language but dam this principal is insane! But let’s not jump the gun because things at this time are unclear? Why didn’t the district make this announcement ? Me smells a lawsuit and is somebody trying to cover their ass?
all this at a Partnership Zone school. DOE really did good here huh? 700K and this happens? are you serious?
um, I am just grateful that she cleared her calendar for a WHOLE day.
She should clear her desk and get the hell out ! I hope the school board sees this and send someone from the district down! I would tell my child to see here one on one! This is a police matter and she needs to step back!

“Distractions” is she fucking nuts ???????????????????? A child was
VICTIMIZED ( I think re:unclear) “Academy Leaders” ???? what fucking egos!!!!!!!!!!!! What insensitivity towards victims of crime and especially a child????????????? I Well at least she didn’t pull a Minner and say “these things happen” !
During this period of ongoing investigation, I would like to request that students, staff, and parents share their concerns directly with school administrators, and that we work together as a school community while this issue is still under investigation.
Is she crazy? Is she trying to interfere with a police investigation? It really sounds like she is telling parents and students to go to school administrators… not the police.
I second Kilroy. Call the police! And may I add… do NOT go to the school administrators.
AMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still totally pissed about the “Distractions” comment! A child was apparently a victim of some type of sex crime and it a “distraction” ????
she is self serving… its in her history.
also seems to believe herself above the law, and seems to overly rely on friends in high places, all part of the pedigree of flawed leadership. Know your boss, know your people, know your friends and never confuse the three is my best advice.
Kilroy, the updated rumors are not helpful. This needs to play out, then there will be plenty of legitimate details to provide fodder for fair and pointed attacks. Patience grasshopper…….
God I hope the incident did really happen in the school during school hours ! That would be a new low! I hearing things like principal waited 4 hours to call the police and student and teacher went home for the day! But perhaps you are correct! Let’s see what pops up in the NJ in the am if anything! Markel might want to keep this hush hush with Glasgow being a state takeover school ! Isn’t that what PZ schools really are ?
yes, the DOE approves the plan and mandates the change. The school becomes a tool of the state. They even have a DOE department to run the turnaround I think
tool, ward, same thing right? LOL.
Well if that’s the case you can bet a Markell cover up! Just like when the teacher at Moyer assaulted a police officer. Swept under rug !!! So to Markell, shit like this in a PZ school is only a distraction!
The police weren’t notified for 2 1/2 hours after it happened.
Channel 6 came to the school and yet the cops didn’t know?
