- I would have to say that the first comment had to be posted by someone who works there.
The School should be closed. Period.
Mislabeling Children on I.E.P.'s having to go through so much trouble to have your child RE-EVALUATED by people who actually care and get it all changed, well needless to say, JL FRANCIS needs to be closed.
They dont care about the kids, atleast the admin doesnt, poor teachers are treated like crap...
