This came to me from an anonymous parent, and what is said within is true.
Readers and Posters:
You may have noticed the website was unavailable for a short time this evening. The board is continuing its attempt to intimidate and bully the webmaster for providing an avenue for discussion. Unfortunately, this forum is not benefiting the board and the administration in the battle of public opinion and that is hurting their cause.
However, we have come to the turning point in the battle. There will be elections coming up and a parent meeting. This will be the ONLY opportunity to do so as the board is acting cowardly and will not provide any special meetings as requested on multiple occasions.
These individuals continue to downplay the website and its posts. Yet, if it does not mean anything to them, why do they continually harass the webmaster? The webmaster is not responsible for the content of the many posts of the individuals who blog this site, just for the avenue in which to exchange such information.
The board needs to stand up and take the heat for the irreprehensible decisions and actions they have taken and have allowed the administration to take under their watch.
So to my fellow bloggers…..
Continue to post -
Bring the issues to the forefront. The fact that they find the website so troublesome gives credence to the fact that they are reading and taking note of the issues and thoughts of the HILLEL parents and community.
We must continue to bring the issues to the forefront for the sake of our beloved teachers (IT IS TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK - - LET THE TEACHERS KNOW - THE PARENTS AND STUDENTS APPRECIATE THEM) and for the sake of our children (THEY ARE OUR FUTURE)!!!!
Let’s build on our foundation and continue to move forward for our cause.

I agree that we should stand up for what we believe in. I believe in respect for educators and students. This week the College Book Awards Assembly was held: a true honor for our school, its students and their families. While I risk being accused of “beating a dead horse”, unfortunately the “horses” are still running, and not for the Kentucky roses. While Rabbi Kaplan, Mr. Levisman, Mrs. Roberts and the teacher/ presenters, offered heartfelt sentiments and kvelled over the students, neither Rabbi Druin, nor Mr. Holden seemed very interested in the event. In fact, neither administrator stayed throughout the awards assembly.
In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, here is recap of this assembly, offered as an example of what the teachers have been experiencing throughout the year. Hopefully, on June 6th, the parents will give their teachers a new Board and in turn a truly educated and ethical Jewish Head of School, who can kvell over them and their students.
Respect
What has happened to respect for education in our school?
The Head of School briefly attends the prestigious “College Book Awards Assembly”.
He sits facing the audience, eyes turned downward, musing over paperwork; barely acknowledging the beautiful ceremony that unfolded in front of many other eyes: except his.
Finally, he is called to the podium and offers words, rather than feelings for his presentation: then he abruptly leaves the Beit Midrash.
The Head of School does not stay to kvell over the wonderful accomplishments of his kinderen.
How could he? These are not, and never will be his kinderen.
His most recent “alma mater” did not offer a book award.
How could it? His degree was not and never will be considered an accredited doctoral program.
