Lady of Zion: Miami-Dade County Public Schools: Covering Up "Bad Apples"

Unfortunately, parents in Miami, Florida know all too well about pervasive sexual abuse taking place by Miami-Dade County School Employees.

Sexual abuse, employee misconduct & an unlimited amount of embarrassing scandals plagued our previous disgraced superintendent, Alberto Carvalho.

But do parents in Miami know about physical, verbal & emotional abuse committed by Miami-Dade County School Employees? ↓↓↓

Disciplinary Records

West Homestead Elementary School is a Title I, SINI Level 5 school, constructed in 1960, on fourteen acres in a rural multi-ethnic community. The facility is surrounded by low-income housing projects, a community park, and a recreational center. Many of the students at West Homestead Elementary School are a part of a large migrant population, which is situated on the south side of the school.

The ethnic/racial student population are 17% White, 36 % Black, 43 & Hispanic, and 2% classified as other. The mobility rate of the school is 40 %. Additionally, 11 % of the students are Special Education (SPED), 85 % Limited English Proficient (LEP) and 10 % are migrant.

"Highly Qualifed Instructors" West Homestead Elementary School is staffed with classroom instructors who have been certified and deemed highly qualified by the State of Florida per the issuance of a state teaching certificate, which documents the completion of a bachelor’s degree and knowledge of subject area(s).

Even with a final budget of $437,135.00 in 2007; West Homestead Elementary could not keep children safe from physical, verbal & emotional abuse from this "Highly Qualified Teacher", Nelly Ramos-Salgueiro.

Not just an MDCPS employee, but a 1st-grade teacher who was found GUILTY by The State of Florida Education Practices Commission of physical & verbal abuse of 6-7-year-old students that come from the lowest socio-economic class.

GUILTY, but never criminally charged or prosecuted for her abusive behavior & gross misconduct by a teacher; against children, she was entrusted to take care of.

This inspires the question. How are parents & schools notified if a teacher is found guilty by The State of Florida Education Practices Commission? Do Miami-Dade County Public Schools truly care if children are protected from teachers that commit any type of abuse against children? No.

This 1st-grade teacher was "moved" to different schools & allowed to continue to teach instead of being fired, criminally charged & have her teaching license permanently revoked. (See Below)

Nelly Ramos-Salgueiro currently works at Kendall Square K-8 Center. How unfortunate that Miami-Dade County Public Schools continues to employ employees that commit heinous acts against children.

Instead of addressing the "Bad Apples", the Miami-Dade County School Board along with United Teachers of Dade conspire to cover up corruption & unethical professionals that are employed by this criminal enterprise.
