From the Sun Sentinel:

Principal whose daughter was killed at Stoneman Douglas blasts school district

Oh, fuck.  What fresh hell are we going to learn about today.

A principal who lost her daughter at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High accused the school district Tuesday of lacking empathy, transparency and an ability to accept blame for the tragedy.

You mean a heartless bureaucracy is shielding itself from criticism while treating everybody else like shit?  I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.

April Schentrup, principal at Pembroke Pines Elementary, told School Board members the district tried to dock her pay for time she took to grieve her daughter Carmen, one of 17 killed during the Feb. 14 massacre. When she tried to ease back into her principal’s job, Superintendent Robert Runcie told her, “this is not a part-time job,” she said, as she held up a portrait of Carmen.

Actually, I am shocked.  That’s fucking awful.  It takes a real sociopath to pull off that kind of shit.

None of the nine School Board members sent condolence letters or cards or called her family until May 8, Schentrup said, “coincidentally a day after I added my name to speak at today’s meeting.”

So everybody on the board is a piece of shit.

The only correspondence she received from the School Board was “an email blasted to the entire district saying the mass shooting would be lumped as one tragedy for insurance purposes.”

Do these fucking people have souls?

How about the superintendent himself?  He must care about the system’s employees, right?

Runcie offered condolences to the family but accepted no responsibility, said her husband, Philip Schentrup, who also spoke to the School Board.

“A week after my daughter was murdered, Mr. Runcie came to my house, sat at my kitchen table, told my wife and I the school district had done everything right,” Philip Schentrup said. “That was an outrage, given I was burying my 16-year-old daughter.”

Of course he didn’t take responsibility.  Didn’t you get the memo?  This is the NRA’s fault.

School Board members quietly listened and offered no response. After the meeting, School Board Chairwoman Nora Rupert told the South Florida Sun Sentinel she felt terrible about what she heard.

“I felt bad for being called out for being a heartless piece of shit in public.”

“It breaks my heart. I feel partly responsible, because I thought the district, a School Board member, someone would have sent notes,” she said. “I know I wrote some notes and went to funerals, but there are no words. I wholeheartedly apologize for my part.”

In her defense, there is no “we’re sorry our policies deliberately ignored all the red flags and got your kid killed” section of Hallmark.

The Schentrups said the district violated security protocols on Feb. 14 by having school gates open 20 minutes before dismissal and not having anyone there to monitor them. They said Stoneman Douglas Principal Ty Thompson refused to meet them to discuss security plans.

In the encyclopedia of of Broward County fuck-ups on the topic of this shooting, this is towards the end.  Ignoring behavioral problems that went back years is a slightly bigger deal.

“We can only share that Superintendent Runcie and district officials have met with and remain in communication with Ms. Schentrup regarding the Marjory Stoneman Douglas tragedy and to provide information on how the district can continue to support her and the demands she faces returning to work,” Clark said.

Bullshit statement delivered third hand.

“We can only share that Superintendent Runcie and district officials have met with and remain in communication with Ms. Schentrup regarding the Marjory Stoneman Douglas tragedy and to provide information on how the district can continue to support her and the demands she faces returning to work,” Clark said.

“And the school district will not deduct the cost of the flowers we sent to her kids funeral from her paycheck ether.”

Clark said the district has taken steps to increase the law enforcement presence and conduct a threat assessment of schools.

“The district is aware that as a community we all must adjust to a new normal and we are working to do so appropriately and with compassion,” Clark said.

Those clear backpacks are going over real well with the students too.

The Schentrups say the district is still doing too little.

No.  Fucking. Shit.

“The same administration and security staff that allowed the worst tragedy in Broward school’s history are still in charge of discipline and security today,” April Schentrup said.

Fuck up, move up.  That’s the way of the bureaucracy.  You really expect these administrators to ever have to pay for their terrible decisions that lead to 17 students being murdered on their watch?

Her husband added, “”I believe the district is dragging its feet, not because it did everything right as stipulated by Mr. Runcie, but because it did so many things wrong.”

That’s 100% true.

Every single fucking administrative lever person in the Broward County School System is an absolute piece of fucking dog shit.  They know it.  We know it.  The lower level employees of the district know it.

But it’s all the NRA’s fault, CNN told us so.
