Brouhaha or foofaraw at San Diego Junior Theatre?
Thanks to the JT oversight group for creating this comprehensive report in an attempt to hold the board members accountable for their actions. As a JT family, we were devastated to lose highly respected staff members who I always felt safe leaving my children with. As a teacher, I believe that all people working with and round children should have appropriate background checks, education, and should be required to take state mandated reporter trainings. Mandated reporters must report any suspected instance of child abuse, which was obviously warranted in this case. Staff should know the procedure for reporting directly and anonymously, which is especially important in cases like this were the suspect is in a position of authority. JT has not been the same since this episode. I am saddened to learn how severely mismanaged the program is under the hands of the current board. Junior Theater needs an overhaul of management to return it to the thriving program it once was.— May 4, 2017 10:24 a.m.
