Depression Screening Test
 Position
Statement "To make sure all
students desiring a public education are safe and that they
are all in an environment where
they’re comfortable and they can learn,'”
Ever since some the JV and
High School Girl's Basketball Team
members and their parents were offered a chance to have a
private session with the School Board to discuss their
grievance with, primarily, two coaches, and then they
were denied that meeting and the board went into the
protection mode that ended in over a year of retribution
against the girls and an end to the complaint that denied
any member of the board and any member of the school (the
superintendent, principal, athletic director, and two male
coaches) who appeared in ODE's
26 page report, had any wrong
doing. (See
the rsults.)Since the results
are confidential, the only thing we can figure is that hush
money was paid. A major result, however, is that since that
time, many students who have been abused by the system,
haven't filed a complaint because they would rather endure
the abuse than suffer from the complaint system.
They've seen, way too often, what happens to the
whistle-blower.
We're here, as private citizens, to
read about or listen to a student/parent complaint, under
100% confidentiality, until such time as the complainant may
want to proceed in the complaint process, and assist in that
process, if so desired.
Testimony
- From families who have moved out of Brookings, and most
who have moved out of Oregon, because their student didn't
feel safe to get an education in the Brookings-Harbor School
System. Note: more to come.

Potential
Solutions (how to get started)
1. Read this letter
to the editor concerning the
Senior Prank of the Purge on May 15,
2018.
2, Tell
us about what happened between
your child in the Brookings-Harbor school system in this
situation or any other.
a. If you want 100%
confidentiality, don't include your name or email.
b. If you want us to know so we can
connect your situation with others in the community, or
want to know how best to navigate the complaint process,
or want support in a potential complaint process, but
still want it to be kept 100% confidential, include your
name and email and we commit to keep the information 100%
confidential.
c. At any time that you want to go
public, in the county, in Salem, etc., give us your
contact information and let's
proceed.
Complainant
Toolkit
Paper Trail. The most
important thing is to start a paper trail at the onset of
the first negative experience. Record the date, time,
place, individuals involved and as much detail about the
incident as possible including potential witnesses. An
ideal way to keep this information is in a journal or a
Spiral Bound Carbonless Phone Message Book which keeps
incidences in chronologically order.
Audio trail. The second most
important thing is to tape record every phone and
face-to-face meeting with anyone connected to the
situation, but especially those connected with the
school. I believe the student has the right to have an
ally (parent, guardian, adult friend, counselor,
therapist, etc.) present in any meeting. I know that past
situations have seen the administrator claim they can
interigate the whistle-blower without anyone present and
have threatened to suspend a student if they don't talk
without another adult present, but I'm not sure about
this. It would seem appropriate since the administrator
is usually in a power-over situation and can intimidate
the whistle-blower in private and intimidate them in
other circumstances within the school grounds. I know,
for a fact, that this has happened before. Especially in
situatoins where the complaint was against an employee of
the school district.
School Policies and
Procedure. Know what you are dealing with. A good
place to start is
here.
Know that it is possible to file an
anonymous complaint.

Help
Us: History of use in the Brookings-Harbor School
District
We want to find out the first usage of the term
"No
blood, no foul" by a teacher,
coach or administrator in the Brookings-Harbor School
District and the last time you heard it. It would be great
to know the name but at least the position of the adult, the
approximate date, place, and who it was said to.
