Letter to the Editor: Honest investigation of non-resident students

At the Unionville-Chadds Ford School Board’s work session on March 10, it was reported that [School Superintendent] John Sanville had privately discussed the situation on non-resident students that were attending our schools. The board was satisfied with the explanation of this probable illegal situation.

After three-and-a-half months of raising the possibility of out-of-district students attending our schools and enduring several stalling techniques by Sanville, I was finally advised in early 2014 by our superintendent that the information I requested was beyond what is required of public agencies. He outright declined to provide the information I had requested.

The one bright development was that the board has contracted with the [Chester County] Intermediate Unit to investigate this situation. I hope the public receives a complete, thorough and honest report. This investigation must not be another whitewashing of this serious situation. Hopefully, it will be completed by the end of April, which would be six months after it was first requested.
