HAND UP Aptos Psychologist: What public, parents and press can do when meat on whole wheat homemade sandwitch is rejected & child given school chicken nuggets in North Carolina

helping hand up

Families need a helping hand up & food & school choice — not forced federal government handouts.

Families deemed ‘at risk’[of what?] may need a helping hand up. ‘At risk’ families do not need government hand outs.

A family which sends their child to school with a home made meat on whole wheat is not placing the child at risk of poor nuitrition. In Hoke County, three school administrators to ask are: Ms. Carpenter [child nutrition], Ms. Steward [federal programs] and Ms. Mitchell [Pre-K]. Google the home page for North Carolina Hoke County School District for details. Dr. Freddie Wiliamson 910 875 4106 x 225 is the school superintendent.

How many Pre-K or older elementary school children must eat cafeteria food as their home packed lunches are not OK per North Carolina schools?

Below are ways how to identify the number of North Carolina Hoke County School District children whose homemade lunches were deemed not OK — as not meet federal food guidelines — and were replaced with chicken nuggets from school cafeteria.

If parents were given a choice between the large Hoke public elementary schools ( typical size is 450 to 640 students) versus a small private school — what size school would parents choose?

Is it 2 or hundreds of school children coerced into eating school food because North Carolina Hoke County public schools say their home packed lunch is not OK? Here’s ways to find out:

One way is to follow the money:
The Hoke County School District Pre-K program is funded by Smart Start, More at 4 and Title One monies. To enroll in Pre-K, children must be age 4 by Aug. 1. So, find out from the budget how much federal monies comes in for Smart Start, More at 4 and Title One.

Another way is to follow the children deemed “at risk”.
The Pre-K Hoke County program is for children “at risk … ” and the program provides ‘family support [control?] of health, nutrition, developmental screenings and placement for special needs…”

So, identify all the Pre-K classes at the 8 Hoke County elementary schools. West Hoke has 3 Pre-K teachers. So how many Pre-K teachers for the Hoke County School District? As there are six elementary school and three Teachers of Pre-K at one there may be 18 Pre-K Teachers in total. Why not ask the person in charge of Pre-K, Ms. Mitchell:

A third way is to contact the Hoke County Schools administrators for Pre-K programs:
Ask specific questions. Here’s who & how to contact:

Stacy Stewart is Hoke’s Executive Director of Federal Projects and School Improvements:
910 875-2416 x 2231.
Ask Ms. Stewart to supply numbers for the last 3 years concerning all Federal Projects.

Elizabeth Mitchell is their Director of Indian Education & Pre-K
910 875-4835
Ask Ms. Mitchell for the total number of Pre-K students for this year and last two years.

Deborah Davis Carpenter is the Executive Director of Nutrition
910 875 4106 x 223
Ask Ms. Carpenter for the numbers of children receiving a school lunch for last three years.
And ask how the Teachers are trained to inspect the Pre-K’s lunches.

A fourth way could be — but not easy — to contact the parents via meetings between parents and the school. The most recent data listed on the West Hoke home page is 2+ years out of date. Per the Home page for West Hoke Elementary, there is no Parent-Teacher association or regular meetings between the parents and the staff at the schools. So, no “power mechanism” exists so that parents can speak up for their children.

A fifth way to find out about forced feeding of chicken nuggets in place of home packed lunches is to ask the school clerical staff. Some clerk — not a Teacher — is the gate keeper for the school lunches. He or she counts the children and reports the information to the school. That way the school can get money from the federal government.

So, first find out the school daily schedule. All schools run on a schedule. Pre-K children eat lunch at a certain time. What time do the Pre-K children eat lunch?

If the lunch of a Pre-K child is deemed not nutritional then the child will be sent or taken to the school cafeteria. And an employee clerk (not a Teacher) will keep track of who gets the school cafeteria lunch. The school clerical staff must keep track so that the school receives money.

You can contact the Superintendent’s office: http://www.education.com/schoolfinder/us/north-carolina/district/hoke-county-schools-school-district/

There are 24 head-type administrators listed under the Superintendent of Schools.

Of note, there is no administrator listed for the clerical (non-Teacher) workers. Compare the top heavy administration of public schools in North Carolina with those of private schools.

Stated above and worth listing again, the following Administrators are responsible for the Hoke County Schools Pre-K, Federal Projects and Nutrition Programs. And, if they won’t answer their phone go to their boss and to the School Board.

Stacy Stewart is Executive Director of Federal Projects and School Improvements 910 875-2416 x 2231.
Elizabeth Mitchell is Director of Indian Education & Pre-K 910 875-4835
Deborah Davis Carpenter is Executive Director of Nutrition 910 875 4106 x 223

Families can use a hand up — not a hand out. Forced hand outs from the federal government weakens the fabric of families.

HANDOUTS Aptos Psychologist: What public, parents and press can do when meat on whole wheat homemade sandwitch is rejected & child given school chicken nuggets in North Carolina

handouts

The Hoke County School District spends $7,914 per pupil a year.

How many Hoke County parents– given a choice — would opt for a private school if they could take the almost $8,000 to another school?

To a smaller school? To a smaller school that fits their child’s particular needs? Where the family can send turkey and cheese sandwiches for a home made lunch?

And then, perhaps, there would not be a ‘need’ for 24 highly paid Hoke County School District administrators. Roughly only 61% (about 2/3rds) of the Hoke budget goes to instruction and the rest to ‘Support’ or ‘Other’.

That might be a win-win for American tax payers and the families of Hoke County.

And let’s request the School Board and Superintendent of Schools for Hoke County School District to create ways that Parents meet at least quarterly with Teachers, Clerical Staff and Administrators concerning parent issues and concerns?

Let’s encourage the schools to find out what families have to say about home packed lunches and other issues.

Aptos Psychologist: How to find out which Teacher(s) told parents that home made lunches are not OK per federal food guidelines & sent 4 year olds to cafeterria for chicken nuggets …

TEACHER SITE ADMINISTRATOR ROSS 207x300 Aptos Psychologist: How to find out which Teacher(s) told parents that home made lunches are not OK per federal food guidelines & sent 4 year olds to cafeterria for chicken nuggets ...

Kristin Ross 910 709 1211


One child’s homemade lunch rejected by a Teacher & replaced with chicken nuggets from the school cafeteria may be “a misunderstanding” as West Hoke Elementary School (WHES) officials opine.

But, when this happens to the parents of two children from the same school — and the same Teacher appears involved — then it begins to look like a pattern.

Here’s how the press and public can find out who how many Teachers are involved:

The following information is from the home page for West Hoke Elementary School (WHES), North Carolina:

There are roughly 25+ Teachers at West Hoke Elementary School
Address: 6050 Turnpike Road, Redford N.C, 28576 910 875-2584

There are three (3) Site Administrators for West Hoke Elementary School. See name, picture and telephone above for one of the Site Administrators.

Kristin Anderson Ross teaches First Grade and is also a Site Administrator.

The other two Site Administrators — the Principal and Vice Principal — do not list contact information. That’s odd. Why no contact information for 2 of 3 Site Administrators?

The Press might contact the North Carolina administrators for the elementary schools. Probably someone called West Hoke and told the school to remove contact information for the Principal and Vice Principal. But, if someone did so they did not think — or check — how many Site Administrators the school has.

All the 25+ Teachers — except one — list some information about their background, education, interests and how to contact them. Each Teacher has a personal greeting and talks a little about themselves. Again, it’s odd that there is one and only one Teacher — a Pre-K Teacher — for whom there is no information.

There are three Pre-K Teachers per the home page for the school:

Kerry Locklear — a Pre-K teacher — is the only teacher for whom there is no information listed on the home page for West Hoke Elementary. That’s odd.

Was Ms. Locklear’s information up and then pulled by the school authorities? It’s a possibility. News reports said that school authorities were not answering phone calls. Perhaps school officials have been busy tidying up?

Shanarra Wacker is another Pre-K Teacher at West Hoke Elementary. Take a close look at what Shanarra Wacker writes to parents: Shanarra Wacker writes, “I will be your son or daughter teacher this year. This is my second year teaching Pre-k at WHES…

Whoops! Note Shanarra Wacker’s grammatical errors? Ms. Wacker is a relatively new teacher, i.e., this is her second year, at West Hoke Elementary School.

The third Teacher listed as a Pre-K Teacher at West Hoke Elementary is Margaret Maynor who has an assistant teacher, Bonita Thomas. Concerning her background, Mrs. Maynor writes that she worked for Head Start for 18 years and has worked at the elementary school since Sept. 2007. Mrs. Maynor is married to Rev. Jack Maynor, has three children and three grandchildren. Mrs. Maynor probably has made many, many home made lunches. But what about Bonita Thomas, her assistant. Perhaps Ms. Thomas inspected the lunches?

So who to ask? Kindergarten Teacher Barbara Beason has worked at West Hoke 19 years. She has 3 children and 6 grandchildren. More than likely she has made many home made lunches. She is a good contact person as Mrs. Beason probably knows what goes on with the Pre-K teachers. Those Pre-K children will soon go to her room.

Jackie Samuels is the Principal, room 405 and teaches grades 3 and 4.

TEACHER PRINCIPAL MALE Aptos Psychologist: How to find out which Teacher(s) told parents that home made lunches are not OK per federal food guidelines & sent 4 year olds to cafeterria for chicken nuggets ...

Principal Samuels

There is no contact information listed how to reach Principal Jackie Samuels via the Internet.

Audrey Noble is the Assistant Principal.

TEACHER PRINCIPAL VICEAudrey R. 225x300 Aptos Psychologist: How to find out which Teacher(s) told parents that home made lunches are not OK per federal food guidelines & sent 4 year olds to cafeterria for chicken nuggets ...

Vice Principal Noble

All Audrey Noble says on the home page is, “Go Dolphins!” Similar to the Principal, there is contact telephone for the Assistant Principal, Ms. Noble.

One person to contact is Site Administrator and First Grade Teacher Kristin Anderson Ross. Teacher Ross has 12 years experience at the school. Room 205. Her cell phone is 910 709 1211.


Beside phone, teachers and site administrators can be contacted by e-mail. Listed below is one email and it’s easy to figure out how to contact any of the Teachers or Site Administrators:

One Teacher’s e-mail address and other information that is listed: escott@eechalk.hcs.k12.nc.us (910) 875 2584 and mobile 910 797 7081. She writes that she is the proud daughter of a service veteran.

OK, press, do your job: inform and educate the public.

Is there a pattern of rejecting home made lunches by this school or just by one particular teacher? Does the school get more money from the federal government if more children are counted as getting a school lunch? What’s in it for who?

Perhaps it’s best to ask more parents who have or had children in the three Pre-K classes at West Hoke Elementary School, North Carolina.

So which Teacher or Teachers at West Hoke Elementary told children that their home made lunch was not OK and sent the children to the cafeteria for chicken nuggets instead?

The 2011-2012 Pre-K Teachers at West Hoke Elementary School in North Carolina are Kerry Locklear (the only Teacher for whom there is no public information listed), Shanarra Wackker (who cannot write correct English), and Margaret Maynor (wife of a Reverend, 18 years experience with Head Start and who has an Assistant Teacher, Bonita Thomas).

So, press and public. Figure it out.
