I am a former teacher that served at Mellodie Brown’s former CPS school. I left teaching in part because of Principal Brown’s bullying of staff and families, in addition to her general dismissal of her school’s needs. For the sake of the students, families, and teachers at this school, Principal Brown should be replaced ASAP.

Dr. Brown is an intimidating bully. She is capable of bringing tears to her coworkers eyes. She creates a toxic environment to the workplace.

No student deserves to be treated unfairly!!! No principal should be allowed to create such a bad culture that the parents and community need to have a petition to get them removed.

This is a horror show whose clear intention is to close yet another public school on the State Street corridor for corprorate profit, not public interest. Children, be damned.

The students of Chicago Public Schools deserve better. As an African American leader Principal Brown should set a better example for our future leaders. This type of leadership doesn't promote a positive atmosphere for learning not to mention the culture and climate for teachers.

Dr. Brown hired one of her personal male friends to work as a day to day substitute teacher in middle school classrooms. A group of middle school girls reported to both Dr. Brown and Ms. Wright that the sub had been sexually inappropriate with them, however NOTHING was done to advocate for these young ladies. In fact Ms. Wright’s response was “Beethoven girls are just not accustomed to strong black males” Our students deserve to be protected no matter what! The poorest leadership that I have ever witnessed

This makes me really sad because I know myself and my colleagues in 3-5 absolutely love all our students. The issue is admin, not us. And she removed good caring teachers. Beethoven is not an easy school to teach at, but our passion keeps us returning every day. My students know I love them and will miss them so very much.
Long overdue this woman is a bully and full of bs
