CRAZY PARKING SITUATION... okay, so I enjoyed my time visiting the RCOE board room for a meeting,…read moreand I love the accessibility to the restrooms! However, this office is so cramped and lacks the space for parking that it makes it a nightmare trying to visit the place. 85% of the parking lot was for STAFF ONLY. It doesn't make sense when a majority of the people who step in to RCOE are visitors. Please allot more parking slots for your guests. I much prefer the conference center across the street. Other than that, staff is meh. The staff at the conference center is much better! If you're looking for RCOE it's the building with the solar panels in the front!

Instead, the program relies mostly on self-paced videos with little guidance, lacks hands-on training, and is behind schedule compared to the syllabus. The classroom environment has also been disruptive, and concerns raised to administration have not been resolved. Overall, the program has not delivered what was promised.

I appreciate the great communication between the teachers and administration. They are friendly and they have great attitudes.

My son attended the Salvation Army summer program this year, he had a blast. There were a few kids…read morethat were not nice to him but the staff had open communication with me so that really helped. There are always mean kids in the world but it helps calm the situation when the staff is helpful. Thanks Salvation Army for allowing my son to have a safe, inexpensive fun summer. Did I mention inexpensive, it was so cheap they even provided 2 meals a day. I'm still pleased. I wish we lived closer so he could go to there center during the school year it's probably inexpensive and helpful.

EXCELLENT TRAINING/CONFERENCE FACILITY! The staff inside the RCOE's Conference Center are super…read moreprofessional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I came for an ERWC (Expository Reading and Writing) training per my school district's request and absolutely enjoyed coming here the last couple of months. The receptionist was super polite, she told me who I needed to check-in with when I arrived each morning and did it with a friendly demeanor. Our host Jimmy Gomez was super nice and a true gentleman! The conference center is clean, the parking is accessible, and it feels very modern/urban! I was able to find a tidy restroom on every floor without fail. The first floor is dedicated to staff parking and a cafe ran by RCOE called "Cafe Esquina" which serves tasty breakfast and lunch items! The second and third floors are for visitor parking. Last but not least, the conference rooms and main office are located on the fourth floor. Signage containing the day's scheduled meetings and room numbers are located around the building. I saw some by the elevator, this was particularly helpful! I went to the Citrus conference rooms and was treated to a tasty series of breakfast and lunch sessions during each break! The first and fourth floor both have outdoor patios, I ate lunch out there a couple times!

My granddaughter started going just this year in August. what I have noticed immediately is that…read moreshe doesn't want to miss a day. she may get frustrated because it's a new way of learning, but their methods work because it's geared to each child individually. Today as I picked her up a bit early; there was a few steps to even get inside the school grounds. in these times that gave me a sense of security. Mrs.!1 lol Herrera was at the front desk and she was so pleasant. my granddaughters teachers names are Mrs.Flores and Mr. Herrera; she speaks well of them both. Ms. Vandien is another teacher that she has a friendship with through other families, anytime Krissy has needed assistance she's always helped without question. A plus is a student store that even I had as a child. that gives them incentive to earn and spend. all schools should have them. we are truly blessed to have this opportunity. Much thanks Nitza - Krissys Nana

This review is long overdue-- but I feel it is important to provide parents with transparency on…read morehow this school truly operates. Let's just wake a moment to acknowledge that these few 5 star reviews are from the staff-- I know this because my child attended briefly. My son started here in the 1st grade and my daughter kinder. First week was great, second week my daughter told me two boys pushed my son at school. With this info I went to the principal (if he is even qualified to be called that)Whitehead. I spoke to him about my concerns and my kids concerns about the physical contact. He went on to tell me it was "not a bullying situation" so he was not obligated to inform me. The children pushed my child and my child responded and an aide had broken it up. He claimed to have not seen these things happen, but would not allow me to talk to the aide present. As I continued to express my concerns, he tried to tell me my son was the aggressor. Frustrated I asked for a conference to discuss this as Whitehead was very gaslighting and dismissive. While the conversation continued another staff member approached to save Whitehead, (due to his lack of qualifications he was not able to handle the conversation on his own) a lady name Ms. Kemp approached. She claimed to be his colleague (right hand if you will), but it almost certainly gave off a husband/wife vibe. The next day I was called into the office to talk about my child--- ALL OF A SUDDEN, he's a problem. Whitehead goes on to tell me my child is doing disruptive things and being physical. Conveniently his teacher didn't see these things, lady Kemp saw them. They claimed my child attempted to bite a child's arm out. Yet NOT ONE PERSON saw this. What Kemp and Whitehead were unaware of was that I was in contact with the teacher aide. Constantly checking in and she said my child was doing great. So my child is doing great, until I confront whitehead about negligence-- now my child is a problem. That's interesting. Needing more clarification, I reach out to his teacher, Kubo-- to speak about my child progression and participation in class. She tells me through dojo she'll give me a call. But guess who calls me instead? Yep, whitehead and kemp. The teacher said she saw none of these things that it was brought to her attention. I let whitehead know I his office, YOU ARE A BULLY! A MEATHEAD, AND UNDER-QUALIFIED. His email signature for being a mentor and navigator not only incorrectly characterizes him, but it's obvious and sadly misspelled. This is NOT a school, this is a CULT! Whitehead should NEVER be allowed to call himself a principal. Your children are not safe there. They are headcount's for a paycheck. I thought I was gaining a community. Instead I gained insight on how some people are only in certain for power and intimidation. Not to mention he tried to use my child's kindergarten behaviors to justify his actions as a grown man. You know how disgusting that is to blame a baby for the actions of an adult? Do you know how dangerous it is, to have teachers willing to go along with another teacher? Not to mention my daughter lunch was constantly stolen, along with her thermal water bottle-- and she often complained of her teacher plugging her ears as kids approached her with help or issues. Please choose a safer place for your babies. THEY ARE NOT SAFE THERE. PROTECT CHILDREN AT ALL COSTS SPRINGS CHARTER! May God have mercy on those who bully, harm, and/or neglect children. If you or any family have experienced any misfortunes at this school please report it! Reviews are not enough, get predatory people out of the school system!
