He probably threatened to take away all the insurance settlement money (which btw makes our auto insurance rates highest in the nation) that he gives to them. Yikes!

The only person Kevin George cared about was himself. The whole school was in chaos. If multiple scandals (especially financial) don’t come out of this, it will be astonishing. I’m so glad he’s out before he did irreparable harm.

I guess I'm in this thread even though I have no skin in this game.

I’ve been hearing rumors of issues for years but I only have one child there and am not connected with the in crowd so I’m clueless on what’s going on & what’s been going on. Why is it all some big secret?

If you know some of the normal parents (regardless of race) you’d be aware of the bullshite they’ve been allowing especially regarding verbal trash and behavior directed towards females. I’ve never heard of so many parents directing their kids to other schools like the last 4 or so years. Sucks because there’s plenty of great kids, parents and faculty but hopefully this gets the school back on the right track.

These are laughable statements.

Multiple issues throughout the school that are directly tied to him. LSU sent a survey out to parents on the culture and state of the Lab School several weeks ago and I know he got blasted. I assumed then that they would be adding the survey results to the case against him. Probably took them until now to get their ducks in a row, but I'm glad they did. He's been a piece of shite and has left a mess everywhere he's been.

He’s the reason we didn’t send our kids there.

Well that and the fact that they didn’t get accepted. And it was also before he got there.

Our oldest is starting kindergarten there next year. Interesting timing for this for sure.

Yeah…I know a few families that have had their kids there since kindergarten and used to be 100% pro U-High who have recently pulled their kids out bc of all the BS. Switched to catholic schools at 3 times the price. They just couldn’t send their kids back to U-High any longer.

U-high has sucked for some time now. You get what you pay for in BR.

bullshite. You can search my past posts where I posted stats that disprove this. It’s still great in spite of his tenure but it wouldn’t have been able to withstand him.

Idk, the elementary school is like the 3rd best in the state, #1 in the BR area.

The school is still great. People just love to hate U High. I think we’d be having a different conversation in a few years if he remained director and may still if they don’t find someone competent to do this next search. The last 2 directors and interim have been embarrassing failures.

There were several items but the latest surge came from the Golden Gala Ladies, all of the Baton Rouge's most influential women (in their minds) and their being butthurt that Football Coach Andy Martin was demoted as the athletic director which was a sizeable cut in pay and a move from as an Administrator back to a teacher. The people that know Andy know he wanted to coach one more year because his son will be a senior next year, and he wanted to coach his son's last year. Andy was rightfully demoted from Athletic Director because he played two different kids from Liberty High School in consecutive years causing University to be removed from the football playoffs last year. Any coach knows a kid that plays across the street cannot play for you the next season. You have to do a Bonafide move into your area or move back to a home zone. This was neither. Andy handled the situation poorly as possible. He never admitted that he made a mistake. He blamed it on some paperwork which is crap because all the paperwork would have told him that the kids were not eligible to play. He sent the e-mail to the parents and then his sister-in-law who sells Amway (she also moved her daughter to Parkview because she could not play at University) copied and pasted it on social media to try and gain some sympathy for Andy which just infuriated everyone that knew the truth. Andy played two ineligible kids and got his team kicked out of the playoffs. University sued the LHSAA, lost the lawsuit, and then had to self-report 20 plus clerical errors and that they had played 7 ineligible athletes once the old athletic director did a self-audit. It is amazing that Andy still has a job. The current football parents minus the ones that are friends with Martin are furious that he didn't tell the team before they played Madison Prep that he had done the math and knew they had to beat Madison Prep and Port Allen to make the playoffs. He allowed Keylan Moses and two other players to sit out of the game as a precautionary move instead of playing them. Had University won both games - all of this crap would have gone away. Instead, no one from the school - the coach, the athletic director, a supervisor has taken ownership that they screwed up 20 plus pieces of LHSAA paperwork. Andy Martin is a nice guy but has underachieved at university. Andy has now been upset by Dunham, St Charles Catholic, and kicked out of the playoffs in consecutive years with a roster that has beaten Catholic High School and will be allowed to coach another year to finish with his son That doesn't matter as long as the queen od sparkles and the ladies of the Golden Gala have another great shindig.

When people say ULS suck it’s usually because they can’t get in.

I've been hearing complaints about lack of discipline with certain disruptive students. Not 100% that he is the admin that avoided doing their duty tho but it has happened.
