As a Collingswood, NJ resident, I am concerned about the recent events in our school district. I expect accountability, communication and transparency from our staff, administration and elected officials. Therefore, I demand a public meeting to answer questions and concerns held by Collingswood parents and the public. Parties called on to attend this meeting are: Superintendent Scott Oswald, Mayor James Maley, Chief of Police Kevin Carey, Special Prosecutor Angela Seixas, Special Education Administrator Joanne Plescia, Board of Education Members Madalyn Deets, Timothy Farrow, James Hatzell, Fiona Henry, Regan Kaiden, Kathleen McCarthy, Robert Lewandowski, David Routzahn, Stephen Rydzewski, William Stauts and Sharon Vogel, as well as Principals and Building Administrators Matthew Genna, John McMullin, Jennifer McPartland, Thomas Santo, Steven Smith, Karen Principato and Mark Wiltsey. Given the severity of these problems and the loss of public trust, it is imperative that this meeting occur by the end of July, 2016.

As a mom, an educator and a taxpayer, I am appalled at the lack of common sense and accountability shown by those "in power" who made decisions and reacted so poorly in this CCPO/CPD/Collingswood Schools Scandal. I demand answers!
We appreciate all of the positive things the district does to educate and nurture our children and feel that this policy and the lack of communication around it are very out of line with the community's expectations for our district. We'd like to build back trust and open the lines of communication. As such, we need an open meeting as soon as possible.
The policy to call police into schools for minor incidents or really no incident at all is reactionary, unjust and will only result in increasing tension and anxiety in both students and staff members. Our teachers and school administrators know their students best and should be trusted to decide when to call for additional support. Please listen to your community members and respond to our concerns in a thoughtful and respectful way.
I'm a NJ public educator in another county, but I'm very interested in what's happening in my home district.
I am interested in this as a parent and county resident as our schools may be subject to the same county and state rules or enforcement. What happened should be fully vetted and understood so the same mistakes are not repeated in Collingswood or elsewhere. Judy Amorosa, Cherry Hill

I am glad that a meeting has been scheduled, but we need ALL of the requested parties to attend, so we can get some clear answers about this very disturbing issue.
