I served as a Site-Based Substitute at EMES for 60+ days before abruptly receiving an email on a Sunday evening from the LCPS Sub Coordinator, telling me that I was not to report there anymore because a "report had been filed" and to call them "sometime on Monday afternoon to discuss further". I couldn't get ahold of anybody on Monday, but did so on Tuesday. The LCPS Sub Coordinator began the call by asking me as the LCPS Employee whether or not I knew about the so-called "report" (i.e. what was going on). LCPS HR Talent Development cited a violation of a "General Use" policy but never provided the documentation or even report with PII removed to justify their dismissal of me. I received free counsel from the Alliance Defending Freedom in crafting a Rebuttal Letter to be added to my file. LCPS HRTD never confirmed this was done. There are many wonderful, professional, dedicated people that work at Evergreen Mill Elementary School. Teachers; TA's; Lunch ladies, janitors, front office. However, they use too much "leadership by email" vs making their rounds in that tiny footprint to see teachers in-person. Admin needs work on fielding qualified (vs unfounded) complaints from teachers/reading specialists, etc about Substitutes, so that they can effectively address specific concerns. Tattling on a Substitute who has immediately made any sort of correction lacks intestinal fortitude, breeds mistrust, and risk aversion. The Music Department introduces the K-5th graders to numerous Veterans Day songs months in advance; the Veterans Day Concert is always a big "hit" with more than 60 Veterans in attendance, seated up on the stage as the guests of honor. The wall between the gym and the music room is covered with photographs of Veterans, and the Principal intentionally honors Veterans!1 teacher still had not filed paperwork to initiate an IEP for her student w/ severe issues as of DecAn immigrant student with behavioral problems routinely dumps out entire contents of bins and runs around his classroom with sharpies, marking up 1st grade classmates and walls. 3 female teachers and a male Dean attempt to corral h while the Substitute attempts to "triage" the rest of the kids up against the cinderblock wall in the hallway with chromebooks and Canva!The Principal does not enforce the Staff Dress Code Policy effectively or efficiently. Some teachers look professional; others literally come in wearing sweatpants! This does not foster self-respect or discipline.

My kid is special needs and his teachers are the best, this is his second year and he loves his teachers, professional and friendly teachers and staff. The principal Mr. Lani is very professional, I am grateful my kid goes to this school. Thank you to Ms. Katie, Ms. Kristina Crowder, Ms. Stacy, and Ms. Jones!

We are thrilled to have our students attending Evergreen Mill. Our second grader and fifth grader have had nurturing teachers who have challenged them and cared for them. This school has quite a diverse population that is celebrated and supported. I love having my children learn to appreciate others for who they are, rather than by what they may or may not have. This kind of school climate is truly what we were looking for. We want our children to not only be successfully academically, but more importantly to be good people in life.
