As a veteran, I would gladly do this work. I wish our government would create jobs for us veterans who wish to continue serving our country, but we are too old to serve in the military.
Kyle supported: Put Policies in place to hire retired Veterans to be placed as Security in public areas.
We need staff that will stand up for what’s right and not neglect the kids when they try to tell them what really happened. I hope victims will be okay damage that has been done is unacceptable and unreversable. -former tn student

When I was a student at this school a few years back, my mom & I reported this teachers disgusting behavior to the Principal and Vice Principal and was informed “We will look into this” with no follow up on the matter. This was back in 2019. The Principal and Vice Principal are just as complicit and disgusting for not taking these students allegations seriously, dating back to 2016 from what I remember and heard. The entire Terra Nova administration and school district of JUHSD needs to be investigated.

So many people in my graduating year were very outspoken about girls being harrassed and affected by his behavior and nothing came of it. Another past incident involving a student being targetted by a teacher was dismissed only 2 years before our graduation— there is clearly a repeat pattern of administration's ignorance when it comes to the safety of their students. It's appalling that continuing to ignore students has led to this.

The fact that it took law enforcement to step in against Spinetti before the administration shows their lack of qualification and or care for their students. Though I was not a student at Terra Nova I’d heard horror stories about Spinetti from friends who were students of his and from graduates who were multiple grades above me. He was a twisted freak who didn’t even try to hide that fact from his students across the many years he was a teacher. The administration let reports pile up after multiple years without any repercussions. Those reports weren’t just pieces of paper, but real kids who tried to ask for help but were left unanswered by the adults who are paid to keep them safe. Sickening. My heart goes out to anyone affected by Spinetti and I hope that the new administration comes with some sense of responsibility and care for their students.

As a current student of Terra Nova high school, many students and myself have reported to multiple teachers about the eery demeanor withheld of Mr Spinetti amongst young girls. Going as far as favoring young girls wearing any type of form fitting clothes, and dismissing young boys from asking questions about the class along with being stand offish with any male students. When this issue was brought up by the school through an email saying a “teacher” was arrested, I could guarantee you an estimate of 80% of this school believed it was Mr Spinetti, and it certainly was. This is not a bias, this is a repeated issue at Terra Nova that is witnessed by students. My art teacher, a woman, when brought this subject up, went to go on a express she did not believe us students when we said this certain teacher was the one arrested and added, “I’ll stand for my brothers,” just to give you some insight on the mentality within Terra Nova higschool. The teachers do not protect these students, they look out for their own wrongs hoping the parents won’t research and dig deeper.

To the students at Terra Nova this man being a predator was common knowledge, and time and time again nothing was done about it. Megan Carey has heard countless complaints from students and stayed silent. At Terra Nova a creepy teacher was far too common and we need to do better for the students safety. I hope his arrest made many people feel safer but it will never undo the damage done for so many kids who went unheard.

She has been a horrible principal from day 1. She told my son to stay in a class that he did not need to graduate nor did he want to take. She told me it doesn’t matter if he flunks the class because he will still graduate. She wouldn’t change him to another class until I showed up at school several days in a row and waited for her to speak with me. I let her know then that she was an awful advocate for students. I know many people who feel the same. Hopefully she gets fired because she has earned it by her lackluster performance over the last ten years

Former alumni here from 2008. This school has a systemic failure of protecting it students going back literal decades. I moved back to town to raise my two children here, I’d cut a limb off before sending either of my students to to the academic prison that is TNHS. you failed us then and you haven’t changed. DO BETTER, remove this administration and let’s have a state take over of these school districts. They are not protecting our community they are actively hurting it.
