Dear Community:
It has been reported to the District that Mr Frank Cannata, Principal of the Sidway Elementary Sshool, was arrested today for felony drug possession. He has currently been suspended from his employment pending disposition of the charges.
The District is cooperating with the authorities on this matter. We will continue to monitor the situation, bearing in mind the principal that in our system of justice an individual is presumed innocent untill proven guilty.
Pleasecontact my office if you have any questions concerning this matter.
Thomas Ramming Superintendent of schools.
Mr Cannata is in charge of a school with our youngest students, this is incredible to me and makes me wonder what else goes on in our schools.
Grand Island is making it into the National News on the wrong foot and with the wrong image.
Last week stem cell firing and this week drugs. I think all teachers should be drug tested. School bus drivers do, teachers are with our kids 6 to 8 hours a day.
Is this Grand Island, NE?
This comes down from the same school district that fired my wife for telling kids a "Factoid" about stem cell research.
Sorry New York..
Could you add NY to the title?
PING!
I am hearing sssooooooo much in the news lately about school teachers, principals, etc.
Up here there have been numerous reports of sexual abuse, drugs, selling drugs, pornography, harrassment, etc.
Scary stuff.
It is high time we hold them accountable!
Thanks for the clarification.
PING!
What goes around, comes around.
There used to be a Freeper who posted tons of stuff about the Pub Ed teachers and how messed up they were. He had every stat imagineable esp. on sex abuse. V's wife.
Hi Mayor...
I see you are from Buffalo. I listen to Buffalo radio all the time...can't take Canadian media. We also share in some of your weather!
They should definitely be held accountable. What makes me angry is that by the time these people are caught, they have usually inflicted damage on many innocents. I think the ones we catch are the tip of the iceberg.
funny isn't it..
I think I remember that, some of the stats were incredible.
I'd love to see them again.
Our schools Police themselves it is time to hold them accountable.
Alot of Canadians listen to WBEN, to Sandy Beach and Tom Bauerle.
I agree it's the tip of the iceberg. This story will go National and it just adds to the image of Grand Island now..
Yes, it's WBEN.
That's where I hear Rush. Plus they have Laura Ingraham on Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons.
I just emailed them because I would love to hear Laura Ingraham nightly rather than one of the shrinks. I am sure they will change their programming just to accommodate my wishes...right? 8^)
I want Michael Savage!
How sad this is.
All this guy has to do is cite how Marion Barry was treated after his drug arrest and trial. He can use that case to get back to his job tomorrow. Before this is over, this guy will probably successfully sue to get his job back with back pay. There's no stigma or accountability for junkies if they wear a suit and have lunch with local govt. officials.
*** I am sure they will change their programming just to accommodate my wishes...right? 8^)***
Maybe if we BOTH ask, they will put Laura on. LOL! Hey, what the heck, I think I'll go email their program director right now.
