4 years ago, a woman volunteered to be a staff member and the School Meeting did not recommend her to School Assembly, and School Assembly did not elect her. She was the mother of 4 school age children, and she had a decidedly fundamentalist Christian agenda. The students did not like or trust her at all. We have to follow the state laws of Delaware, so alcohol and pot are not allowed on campus. This restriction goes for everyone, students and staff as well.
Smoking is permitted in an outdoor area.
Some of our children are very aggressive, and sometimes they express that aggression through violence. So far we have not had any serious incidents because other school meeting members are not willing to let people hurt each other around here. We have had no problems with weapons here. We have had rare threats, but JC tries to be sensible and deal them case by case. I hope this is helpful.
