Principal Garmon is one of the most compassionate educators I have encountered . My children went to Broadway elementary and she was professional, smart, caring with every situation that she encountered. We fought hard for this program then and will continue our support.
Our two children both attended Broadway elementary school. The dual language immersion program instilled such great academic foundations in them, and a love for the target language. Ms. Garmon is an integral part of the academic rigor, welcoming environment, and community of families that is Broadway elementary school. She needs to stay in place and continue the great work. Having continuity and longevity from dedicated staff is a key to success.
I’m really proud of my grandson who goes here! I found the community and open campus so beautiful and welcoming. I had the chance to see Principal Garmon at morning assembly on several occasions and loved the way she interacted with the children and with my grandson. She was both approachable and a strong presence.
As a former educator in Montessori education, I’m saddened to see someone who is such a light being diminished by the system. Principal Garmon can easily be a top private school principal with the level of care and attention she gives to both students and parents. We hope to see her there the next time we visit.. LAUSD if not her, what do you believe is the answer? Please allow her to stay.
Principal Garmon has been with Broadway for literally decades. LAUSD has a long history of false promises with the Mandarin program, especially, at Broadway. A culture of self-sufficiency has developed from this in the parent community at Broadway. Now, LAUSD wants to punish the program for it? Ridiculous. Broadway is one of the crown jewels of LAUSD and is an incredibly bright spot in my child's childhood. Principal Garmon (Ms. Garmon at that time) was an integral part of that. Let it continue to be this way for more children to come under the leadership of a principal that has proven she understands what the students and teachers at Broadway need to thrive.
