May 2, 2024

“My son goes to Glenmar Elementary School, he’s in kindergarten, on 4/11/24 he was completing a homework assignment on his school laptop. It glitched out almost as if someone was listening in. I took the laptop and started investigating, I found A SCREEN RECORDING that was taken January 26th at 7:10am of a video that was recorded in my HOME from the school laptop on the night of Thursday January 25th . I emailed Zachary’s teacher immediately with questions, I got no response, so I took it to the principal, Ms Neary, on 4/16/24 I saw down with her and showed her these videos saved to Zachary’s computer, her first reaction was “this is bizarre “ she was apparently going to send the laptop off to the IT guy… I’ve asked to make a report with the SRO of the school, and been denied name and number. The principal called me on 4/18/24 and told me”they found nothing “ and tried leaving it at that.. On 4/18/24 there were files deleted off of Zachary’s google drive @3 :37 pm…. On 4/29/24 I had a parent teacher conference with Zachary’s teacher miss Ellinger, I asked her “how Amira recording my son in my home without knowledge is helping him progress “ and she called the principal down, and that’s when the principal told me the laptops don’t record and there are no recordings. BUT I have a 30 minute screen recording that was taken Friday morning of a 45 minute recording that was taken Thursday night IN MY HOUSE. Recording personal and private conversations, my sons Amira assignment is paused and it’s still recording , MY SON CLOSES the lap top and it’s still recording audio. I recieved a certified letter in the mail from Glenmar Elementary School BANNING me from the property, I had my lawyer reach out to principal Neary and she refuses to answer but she called me and emailed me after my lawyer tried getting in contact with her, and I told her she needed to contact him. And she refuses. Watch your kids school devices. And watch where you send your kids to school!”
