Fixing St. Johns Classical Ac.

"The attorney representing the parents of nine young students says that prior to Guadalupe’s arrest, multiple parents had reported concerns about Guadalupe to school administrators. Parents who send their children to the school have access to both a live and recorded video feed from their child’s classrooms. According to the lawsuit, several parents sent images from the video feed to the administrative staff [which includes Dr. Williams] to report what they deemed as inappropriate behavior by Guadalupe."

"News4JAX spoke with two parents who pulled their children out of the school. They both said their children were not in Guadalupe’s class but felt the school was not being transparent about what happened."

The parents' statements sound familiar.

A lawsuit was filed Monday against Chappell Schools following the arrest last month of a former assistant teacher who’s accused of molesting a 4-year-old at the private preschool’s campus in St. Johns County.

Dr. Williams is involved in yet another scandal. This time Dr. Williams' depraved actions ended with multiple children being sexually assaulted by one of her staff members.

Rage does not even come close to the amount of anger I am feeling. To all the staff and people who chose to support and advocate for her, maybe you now realize children should come first, instead of your agenda.

To the families she and her fans hurt, I am sorry there is such evil. To the families that stood up against the tyranny and corruption, despite the cruel and torturous actions of that woman and her fans, take a bow! You showed true virtue!

In a civil lawsuit, filed this week, the families of nine children are suing Chappell School LLC for the inappropriate behavior of a former employee, 18-year-old Anthony Guadalupe.

Dr. Williams has a mediocre evaluation and says she doesn’t understand why she got fired after her performance almost got the school shut down. Maybe CCA also found out about her history at STJCA.

A former Jacksonville charter school principal who was recently fired has hired an attorney to challenge her termination, saying it was based on a “false and defamatory” evaluation.

STJCA former and current staff and attendees, now would be a good time to speak up about how Dr. Williams hurt you or negatively impacted the school. If you wish to remain anonymous, message me and I will post it. Unless you were a worker there, keep it to events with you unless you have actual proof relating to others. Similarities between what happened with STJCA and CCA are astounding. The question which remains in my mind is how did she get hired at CCA after what she did at STJCA.

Three days after the governing board of Cornerstone Classical Academy in Jacksonville voted unanimously to fire the school’s principal, Dr. Melanie Williams sent a letter to more than 50 stakeholders of the charter school, saying her termination was the result of an “unfair and unwarranted evalu...

Dr. Williams sent an e-mail to many Cornerstone attendees and made it clear she wanted it widely distributed. I will not be giving her my page as a platform to state why she believes she was unjustly fired. I will, however, be posting my rebuttal.

I am starting off with an apology to Ms. Jennette. I was referring people to her that contacted me about Cornerstone Charter. Plenty of people were wanting to know more details involving Dr. Williams. I let them know Ms. Jennette was more vocal about her experiences and would probably speak with them. She wrote me recently saying, “I don’t have time and don’t have the emotional energy to explain over and over and a butt ton more times about what that woman did to me. She put me and tons of other people through hell and I ain’t gonna keep reliving that crap for people that possibly wanna stick up for her… but I am more than willing to help families that had to deal with her and need help and support. Please, just send everyone else to the video of when I had to speak at the county board meeting. I feel TOTALLY vindicated but she ain’t my priority. Ain’t nobody got time for that.”

To respect Ms. Jennette’s wishes, here is the video again. Go to time marker 1:34.

While many families want answers by the Cornerstone Board as to why she was fired, Dr. Williams is entitled to rights just as other employees at other businesses. It would be an invasion of her privacy for an employer to publicly state the basis of her termination and if they did, the employer could be sued by Dr. Williams. Not only would the board be putting themselves in jeopardy but also the Cornerstone school. If her termination involved attendees or other employees of the school, these people have a right to privacy as well. Keep this in mind when she stated in her letter about addressing the board to ask them questions. What the Cornerstone Charter Board may say is limited.

Dr. Williams uses the fact of money raised for a playground as a distraction from the main point – Dr. Williams. She had a tone to bring distrust and suspicion to the board. The issue is not the money but her being fired. These are separate issues and should be treated accordingly. If she believed there was illegal activity with the money, she should have brought it to the proper authorities’ attention. Her bringing this point up now gives suspicion to her motives.

With her posting her resignation letter from St. Johns Classical Academy on June 17th of 2019 to spend time with her family and then her being employed by Cornerstone Charter around November of 2019, I am seeing a forced resignation. (For the resignation letter and other details listed in this paragraph, you will need to scroll back on this page.) Add to this her being fired shortly after classes commence with a new charter. I will say again, where there is smoke, there is fire.

Someone messaged me on the page and asked a favor. I was then promptly blocked so I can not respond. What I was asked was to note the improvements the school has made to show how good we are now. Parents who currently have children attending STJCA, what are your thoughts on your school now?

03/10/2021

With the firing of Dr. Williams from Cornerstone and the complaints against her when she was at STJCA, if anyone needs a way to be heard, please contact me through this page. I am trying to find information.

I was wondering why my page was getting more views and likes lately. Guess people at STJCA who spoke up and were ran through the ringer were telling the truth after all.

Less than seven months into its first year of operation, the governing board of Cornerstone Classical Academy in Jacksonville voted Tuesday morning to fire its principal.

With the issue of a teacher harassing a student, PG Shaffer posted in her Facebook group, All Clay County Students Matter, the picture attached. A lot of people are watching STJCA to see if the supposed changes from last year are truly in effect.

If you are having issues that you are worried about retaliation, now is the time to speak up. Please contact PG Shaffer, Lisa Hong and Nikki Glanville or myself at this page. If you wish to remain anonymous, I will respect your wish. This is to share information and help make changes.

STJCA was told we couldn’t have a crossing guard because we had a button for signaling pedestrian crossing at the light but here is a push button light and crossing guard at 2 lights for Doctor Inlet Elementary. Who told STJCA this and how was the information put out to the parents?

Dr. Williams is now the principal for another local BCI school, Mrs. Meredith is STJCA Interim Principal even though the Clay County and STJCA school contract says there is to be a principal, and there haven’t been anymore principal interviews that we know of. What is going on? Is there political maneuvering happening? How is this being allowed to take place?
