Places Gone & People Seen

Important Note to Parents & SVHS Staff:

The Board of Education will be at SVHS for a meeting this Thursday, November 13, 2008 at 6:30 to receive reports on school achievement from the LSICs for Buffalo/Ceredo/ Kenova/Kellogg/ Elementary Schools, Buffalo/Ceredo-Kenova/Vinson Middle Schools and Spring Valley High School. This meeting was previously scheduled, long before the Superintendent returned Mr. Thompson to SVHS.

This meeting should be considered, by law, to be an official meeting of the Wayne County Board of Education and regular business should be conducted, including receiving delegations from schools who wish to be heard. Regular business, including personnel matters, was conducted at the most recent WCBOE meeting held October 23, 2008 at Tolsia High School, where the LSICs from several area schools made reports to the Board.

News media will be present at this meeting.

It is important for all concerned parents to be aware that photos of SVHS students were taken, without the knowledge or authorization of administrators or parents, and posted to a private internet site last year, again without authorization, and posted again to a private internet site, again without authorization and with direct insubordination approximately three weeks ago.

The SVHS LSIC requested multiple times the return to parents of all photos of past and present SVHS students in all forms that exist, including prints and any and all digital forms, including those stored on any type of storage media or on hard disk.

The requests were denied. In fact, the Superintendent of Wayne County Schools, Mr. Adkins, stated in May 2008 that all photos had been destroyed. This statement was proved false by the recent re-appearance of several photos which were again posted to the same private internet site, without authorization, during October 2008, by Mr. Todd Thompson.
