Why You Should Care Mr. Crabill has found quite the acolyte in Director Chandra Hampson. In the course of discussions over SOFG, she says his name over and over, "A.J .says we...." Now that's not too surprising given the direction the district is heading and that it is Mr. Crabill's work with the Council of Great City Schools is how we got here. But it appears that Mr. Crabill is working very closely with Hampson and we know she wields some amount of power over the majority of the Board. Mr. Crabill is going to continue to work with the Board as SOFG is instituted in SPS. In fact, his role may become more public as it did at one SPS Board meeting in the spring where he was on the phone during the meeting and suggested the Board stop the meeting to "self-reflect."

Less than half (46%) of U.S. kids younger than 18 years of age are living in a home with two married heterosexual parents in their first marriage. This is a marked change from 1960, when 73% of children fit this description, and 1980, when 61% did, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of recently-released American Community Survey (ACS) and Decennial Census data.
One of the largest shifts in family structure is this: 34% of children today are living with an unmarried parent—up from just 9% in 1960, and 19% in 1980. In most cases, these unmarried parents are single.

is the solution get people married or change society to reflect behavior?
Sounds like he groomed her while she was at VR.
Don't people understand grooming?
Perhaps a good topic for a thread.

Does anyone remember the principal at Whittier Elementary? He would drive along Highway 99 and expose himself to young women.

Fortunately the girl at View Ridge did report it while it was still in the talking stage.
They can be identified and should be removed BEFORE causing harm to young people. This has to be job one for the district. sexual abuse of children is a scourge that cannot be tolerated.If it's only coincidence with the principal, so be it. But she comes off as, well, read the article.

Not this teacher, but I should have SAID something. They were high schoolers and it was real babysitting, but I've wondered about it frequently since then.
