FBISD Has Reassigned Middle School Principals at Two Over-crowded East Fort Bend County Schools Over Violence (QVMS & LOMS) in '06 Alone. Will This Happen At BBMS After Build Out?--

From SOS: After Complaints Of Violence At
QVMS, Principal Is Reassigned

Quail Valley Middle School, criticized by more than 100 residents at recent school board meetings over incidents of violence and discipline problems, will get a new principal.

Dr. Alfred Ray, Fort Bend Independent School District associate superintendent of campus achievement, has posted a letter on the school’s web site saying Quail Valley Middle School Principal Bruce Drennan has been reassigned. . .(get the rest of the story at FBN, SOS or talk about it here on MCC).


___________
Comment- SCE is between 800-900 elem. students (is this optimal for children this age grouping?). Is bigger really better when it comes to kids?

I think they are discussing this too on FortBendTalk.com as related to the growth stress that is impacting this community.

The stress of growth in the district isn't the problem. The leadership at many of the schools is lacking and these results are very apparent. The district needs to stop using the JP courts as their assistant principal.

Jim--

I would have to disagree on the size issue, but agree on the JP one. I've seen many schools in this district and the ones that are consistently in trouble are the more densely populated ones. I like the Eagle Rock case study as well as the E. Harlem Schools, these are successful examples of what reduced size and density can mean to school improvement and families and the creation of more collegial learning environments. As for leadership, I'm sure volumes have already been discussed.

Mr. Drennan was a very good elementary principal, I hope he will work in that level.

Mr. Frennan was very helpful to my son years ago.

Welcome to Kempner High School and good luck!

I still brag about my elementary principal Mr. Drennan b/c I have never seen another man that cares so dearly for his children, as he always treated us. FBISD is lucky to have a great leader like him. It ’s sad he gets the blame b/c in this day and age, parents will scream if you don’t do anything, but if you do, then it becomes “How dare you do that to my child!” People will always complain. Just something you must live with.

I agree parents are quick to blame and put it off on the scholl for their short commings as a parent but I also beleive that in a public school and where it is the law that kids have to go to school it is the school’s responsibility to provide our children with a safe environment to learn in. Therefore it is the principles responsibility to take care of these issues. In the good old days when teachers had real powers to deal with these disruptive students these types of issues wern’t issues.

Quail Valley used to be a very good middle school until FBISD rezoned it (twice), accepted a large number of interdistrict transfers from “troubled” schools and provided transportation to the school for these students attending from outside the zoned area. Since that time, problems have grown in leaps and bounds. Running the school in a police state situation is not the best answer. Appropriate rezoning conducive to the population that lives in Quail Valley would alleviate many of the problems we now have at this school. Unfortunately, Quail Valley is an older neighborhood and we do not have the power or money that developers of Sienna Plantation and Riverstone have behind them.

One of the smartest things the board has done in recent years. Drennan was an excellent elementary school principal. He was a very poor principal for middle schoolers. I dont envy the position of a MS principal or asst principal. It is a very difficult job. Drennan just wasnt cut out for MS. Best wishes to where he lands for the next two years till his retirement. Now, we need a good disciplined no nonsense person to take the reins at QVMS. Mr Crafter was the perfect person, someone of his qualifications and personality would be great

7 Cedric Nelson - Jul 21, 05:25 pm
Mr. Drennan will be missed.

8 parent too - Jul 21, 05:25 pm
Let’s hope it won’t be a principal like the one in this article, featured in Houston Press http://www.houstonpress.com/Issues/2006-06-29/news/feature_full.html

One thing I liked about about Mr. Drennan…..he treated the students as individuals.

9 William - Jul 22, 04:25 pm
I would have to agree that Mr. Drennan did care for children and was likely more suited for elementary aged children. It is a sad testimony at what has occurred at that school over the last few years. A pathetic lack of concern by many segments of the parent population who use the schools as babysitters and disciplinarians. The lack of involvement of parents at QVMS was evident over 3 years ago. A general lack of interest in education for their own children has led to this crisis. It was always disappointing to see this lack of concern, most of which I have not seen at other schools. Although one person can set the tone, it requires the whole community to step up to the plate for the sake of children. It is alarming to see the disinterest in intellectual endeavors—not only at QVMS but elsewhere. Best wishes to Mr. Drennan’s.

About time he was replaced. Removed my son from school there three years ago due to lack of discipline.

11 Iteachtoo - Jul 23, 09:24 am
Sadly to say there is a lack of discipline in most schools today. The dress code is routinely violated, phones are pulled out and answered in class. Disrepect is the norm for a few students, and when you meet their parents you understand why. I have heard students curse their parents even using the F word. Some prinicpals will call them on it some won’t. Parents seem to want the rules to apply to all students except their own. Some parents want their child to get an A without any effort. Sometime teachers feel they are not backed by the administration. I could go on and on, but the picture is all too familiar in most of our schools.

12 john manley - Jul 23, 12:28 pm
the way students dress is not the fault of the students, it is the parents who buy the clothing that their child wears. Get the parents mind right and the rest will fall into place

13 john manley - Jul 23, 12:37 pm
Parents were to quick to point their fingers at someone else instead of trying to controll their child.

14 Cara - Jul 23, 02:01 pm
Unfortunately until parents start taking responsibility for their children nothing is going to change. Each parent must supply more stability, good values and good morals from the home to help their sons and daughters become better young people which will lead to better adults. For a start, on the schools part ALL elementary and middle schools should have uniforms to prevent many of the small everyday issues that lead to larger ones inside the hallways. The Administration and teachers will take care of their parts but it still begins at home whether parents want to believe it or not. Changing the principal may be a good change or new start for the upcoming school year, but you still have the same problem students in a large area around their. Therefore, changing boundary lines in that area will not relieve all or most of the problems. You are still going to have these problems even with a new principal. It’s a constant fight when the trouble making types of children are allowed to continue to behave this way, even at home. All parents including myself should must be held responsible for our children’s behavior. When we get more involved with our children we CAN mold them into the type of young people we hope they will become.

Ck this comment out on the district bond rating from FBN.com and how excessive growth has negatively impacted the ratings and hurts our ability to cheaply add more schools. This supports the case for legislative action to require developer kick-in to help reduce start-up costs on schools undergoing this demand. It only makes sense when you think how this business group benefits from the reputation of the schools in their land and home sales. See the article clip for more:

"Standard & Poor said in a report that FBISD bonds can’t currently be rated higher than AA- “due to the district’s very high debt levels, coupled with additional debt needs to meet the rapid projected growth.”

But Brooks said both S&P and Fitch Ratings were “very complimentary” toward the district because of “the way the school district has been able to maintain and add to it’s fund balance, even though you’re saddled” with a property tax cap."
