Absolutely worse thing a man can do is sleep with another mans wife while he has his own wife home pregnant. What kind of example is this guy sending to the kids of that school. And to ban Mike from seeing his kids graduate is discussing on the school administration talk about corruption somebody needs to stick up for Mike Rahab and his kids and get this guy out of the school. Where's the justice REALLY!!!

The teacher should be fired from his position.

He should not b allowed near any children that's for sure!!!!

The wrong family is being punished on so many levels. What would any of us have done under these circumstances? Not to allow this father to see his daughter graduate or be at any and all other events for his other children is so UNACCEPTABLE! Michael is a stand up man and an incredible father. His children are first and foremost in his life. He deserves to be at any and all events of his children. I gladly sign this...and will do what I can to move this petition forward. I hope and pray that this family will find the peace they so deserve and that justice will be served.

What is going on with this School Board? Teachers are supposed to be held to a HIGHER STANDARD of conduct and are to be POSITIVE role models for DEVELOPING PUBESENT children. At this VULNERABLE stage of development, the least the School Board can do or EVEN THE PRINCIPAL can do is put the BEST INTEREST of the children FIRST and NOT the interest of that DISPICABLE teacher. What an ABUSE OF AUTHORITY!!!! How dare they prevent a parent from attending a child's graduation!!!!! This is NOT how our Tax Money should be spent. Belmore/Merrick Wake up!!!! This needs to stop. Our children are at Risk. We should NOT have this teacher NEAR our students. Our children should feel free & safe to learn in a STRESS FREE atmosphere and not have TROUBLING thoughts of possibly being exposed to UNHEALTHY ADULT BEHAVIOR. It's OUR JOB TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN. WAKE UP!!!!

He's a piece of garbage. Not a good example for our children to be around. Come on, the school board should be held accountable for their LACK of taking appropriate action. The School Board is there for the better of the Students. Why haven't they done anything to make sure this guy isn't around the students. Makes me wonder what the Principal is HIDING from or what he is Hiding?

Enough of this womanizing coach. He needs to go!!! No example to set for our kids !!!

Get rid of Cracco

Not a good role model for our children ..

Is the School Board ignorant or inept ? Sad to say, one fuels the other. Remember, "Those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes". Mr Cracco has violated his contract and his trust with this community. When will he be held accountable ? The next time ?

An article was just sent to me about overestimated expenditures that i think everyone will find quite interesting in regards ti the Bellmore/Merrick school district. An audit conducted by the state 2016 found 21.3 million for the past 3 years in overestimated expenditures exceeding the legal limit of unrestricted funds. The superintendent and Board of education president disagreed but ofcourse , with auditors findings. They quote on quote said its "approach will help in preparing furure budgets with potentially shrinking revenues". To my suprise guess where the over budgeting was found?? TEACHERS SALARIES, EMPLOYEE BENEFITS, and PLANT OPERATIONS, all according to the state comptroller.. This just proves where are hard tax earned dollars are being spent. What a colossal disgrace in my opinion.

This is a shame that this can go on and on in our school districts. Sure seems like changes should be made.

Seriously this man has destroyed a family and disrupted the children's lives. Mr. Raheb has alot patients as I see but myself and any other husband or father would not allow this teacher to be in my district. I would use all means of removing him. What has these school districts learned from hiring low pay teachers? That they have no morals or disipline

Being a teacher myself I know that this conduct was "conduct unbecoming a teacher" he should be transferred or terminated

First off, it was very uncalled for to ban my uncle from being a part of his daughters graduation. It is a once in a lifetime thing and he will never get to have that moment for the rest of his life due to such a corrupt school board. Schools are suppose to be for the children and in this case it is pretty clear that the children were not taken into consideration in this situation... As a high school graduate, it was a pretty big deal to receive recognition for all of the hard work put into my education and if my father wasn't present to watch me walk across that stage as he was throughout my whole life leading up to that big moment, I would be devastated. He is a very active father who is always there for his children and to deprive him from such a huge milestone in his child's life is wrong no matter what way you look at it. For not one but multiple people to discuss and conclude that it is ok to ban a students father from graduation is appalling. It shows total disregard for the students emotions and the affects it might have on them. To be a child of divorced parents is devastating in itself especially for a kid in high school. Now not only do the children have to adjust to the family being split apart, but now they will have to deal with a constant reminder of the divorce throughout high school because they will have to see Craccos face everyday as they walk the halls of their school. That would without a doubt be enough to disrupt a child's education because it would remind them of such a devastating event in their life. That being said, it is an unfair punishment to the kids due to the fact that they will be at a disadvantage with their education compared to other students. The school board might think they have made the right choice by banning my uncle from sports games and graduation but in the long run it is just creating a ripple affect to his kids and they will be the ones affected by it. The point is, depriving a parent of a fun

Give this father some well deserved justice!!! Get rid of Cracco!!

I am a parent in the Bellmore/Merrick school district. I am shocked that the Mr.Cracco was not held accountable for his actions. He is employed by our school district which uses our tax dollars for his salary. He supposed to be an example to our children. I wouldn't want him coaching my child. I know Michael Raheb and I know that there is nothing he wouldn't do for his children. His children are his top priority. The decision to ban him from any and all school activities including his daughters graduation should be reversed. He should be allowed to see her graduate. You only graduate from high school once. You have to think about how this is decision affects his daughter as well. How can you take that away from her, how can you keep her father from seeing her graduate? A milestone that happens once in a lifetime. I urge you to reconsider your decision.

I grew up in Merrick Bellmore district. As a parent I find what he did to a wonderful man and his family is disgusting disrespectful This man has no morals respect or class. This man should be held accountable for his actions and what he has done. What kind of example is he showing children growing up . I have known Michael Rahab my whole life. He has been a gentleman to me and my family he's also a good friend. growing up his family was nothing but good to me welcomed me into their home with open arms. The Board of Education the superintendent needs to handle this in the correct way. They need to dismiss him and keep our children safe. They need to hire teachers That have morals that can show empathy and can provide good education to have children.

He is supposed to be setting an example for our kids.....this is the man we entrust our kids to? If our kids are caught doing something "inappropriate " off school property and off school time they get disciplined cause they represent the school....what does the actions of this man represent to our kids and school community ?! What's good for the goose is good for the gander isn't it....well what's happens to our kids should happen to him....he should be dismissed...no pension....no severance.....he's a disgrace to our community and I'm ashamed to say he's part of our district. ......thong and all!! That's what I hear he likes to wear....

How are students supposed to follow the moral codes of the school of the teacher can't set an example....this is who who we entrust our kids to? If our child is caught doing something off school grounds...otherwise even during school hours....they are still disciplined for not following moral codes....I'd say cheating on your pregnant wife with a students parent is not very moral....so make an example out of him to set an example for our kids....it's wrong!!!!
