The principal of Bodine High School has been removed after allegations by students and staff of a “toxic culture,” including more than two dozen claims of sexual harassment by the principal and two staffers.
The principal of Bodine High School has been removed after allegations by students and staff of aa marked deterioration in climate at the Philadelphia magnet school, and more than two dozen claims of sexual harassment by the principal and two staffers.
“In a nutshell, since the principal arrived, there have been no consequences for anything at the school,” Bodine junior Desmond Farlow said in school board testimony last week. “Students can come and go as they please, come in late, leave early, walk in and out of the building throughout the day, skip class, fight and there are absolutely no consequence.”
Farlow, 17, cited a “toxic culture” and said students feel “body-shamed and victimized all throughout the school, with comments coming directly from staff.” School board president Joyce Wilkerson said she wanted assurances the district was “in compliance with the law and moving aggressively toward protecting children.”
“I am feeling rejuvenated,” said Aisha Siryon, a Bodine 12th grader. “I can’t wait to see what’s next and what’s going to change.” “I just want to make sure that we’re learning as much as we can so we can best respond to the student and staff and family needs,” Domers said. “One of the things I keep saying is: We need to focus on what we need to do to heal.”
