Removal of Principal Mellodie Brown

She stood up in a meeting with staff members yesterday and bragged that she had improved Beethoven’s attendance, however all of the teachers are fully aware that what she’s saying is untrue! After teachers have taken attendance both Brown and Ms Wright edit the attendance that was already taken to mark students present who were absent. Every word that comes out of her mouth is lie. She can’t be trusted even down to the smallest things. This has been the absolute worse year of career as an educator! CPS I beg of you to do something about this, PLEASE!

Her treatment of students, parents, and staff has been egregious. I am confounded by the fact that she is still holding a position of leadership while all of those around her are drowning and looking for a lifeline.

There are no words to describe the horrors that I have witnessed this school year under Dr. Brown’s administration. She has removed parents from the building COMPLETELY, not allowing them even a rudimentary introduction to their child’s teacher. She has had overcrowded classrooms with insufficient support staff. Many classrooms have not been staffed all year and have been run by miscellaneous staff or subs. I should not even have to further articulate what a disservice this is to the students of Beethoven. She is detrimental to the students and staff’s mental and physical health and growth. I believe in the students at Beethoven. I want to see them with the leadership that they deserve. Please make a change!

This administrator has not only proven to be less than honest, but also cruel, unprofessional and uses her position as a principal to manipulate and threaten staff to get what she wants. Unfurtunately, what she wants is not legal, harmfull to students and seems to care more about money, keeping her job, looking good, and her status, as opposed to what is right and fair for students, their families and staff alike! If you are not making decisions that are best for children, then you do not deserve to be in a school in any capacity!!! Chicago students deserve better and these families and students are some of the most at risk!

This school has no proticols,discipline rules never carried out.parents are not respected! Children are not atteded properly by staff or lack thereof.This is the worst school I' seen yet.And I have worked and assited in puplic schools after having 4 chidren,and ten grandchidren myself in the system.No one I have encountered at this school care about those kids.It all about the empolyees getting a check.I frist hand have wittness the lies told on kids from aldults.I have noughthing good to say about this school! Must be reason why teachers never stay,nor principles!.CPS need to do a sweep,Fire all the staff ,hire new.Our kids deserve quality education.And my tax paying dollars shouldn'be wasted.Let it be known noughthing personal against this Principle,but because she is the head and runs it she has to be held accountable!!!.Make a change for our children's future or just close the doors for whats going on there now..Garabage,no one cares.Thank you for allowing me to enterject my opinion! -Truth P.s. who dont inform parents of communicable diseases in the school.Ive saw the big roaches wirh my own eyes.Its just terrible what going on in that school.Its more Ive seen but too much write.I am concern about those kids!!.

Dr. Brown continues to lead by everything that is oppositional to true learning and growth and love.

I am sorry to say that I have suffered through the worst leadership imaginable under this administration. This used to be a place of love, safety and hope and possibility for fulfillment of dreams. Now it only represents depression and hopelessness. Children should not be defined by a test score that continues to diminish their potential, but is run by government federal funding of further testing to line the pock ts of the billioionares that demand it in the first place. Pleas don’t forget that George W. Bush pushedfir more and more standardized. Testing ti pocket the wallets of his cronies. This has nothing to do with our students. Just more corruption.

OUR CHILDREN DESERVE BETTER. NOW!

This school needs a new principal

Beethoven needs better leadership

I never seen someone of leadership victimize the students and her staff

Get rid of her

She must go

Removal this despicable perso asap!

Stay blessed and encouraged.

Get rid of her put her in the office at the board of education so you can see what is as parents have to deal with

This principal is the worst I ever met

I wanted my daughter to attend Beethoven but the principal has a bad attitude towards the students and her staff I changed my mind and put her somewhere else especially when I found out she made the 1st graders through 4th grade sit on the floor of the gymnasium eating their breakfast every morning

I wanted my daughter to attend Beethoven because I graduated from there but with the principal bad attitude towards the students and her staff I changed my mind and put her somewhere else

I transferred my kids because of her
