Glenville Parent Gets Unfair Rap

To the Editor:

To be clear, Frank never once sought to have Marc D'Amico fired or even disciplined (though he should have). I know because Frank called and asked for my advice on the afternoon of May 6, as he was absolutely dumbfounded over what he discovered. All he did, after D'Amico lied to him and ruined his daughter's birthday party, was stumble upon D'Amico's unbelievably deceitful, petty and childish act of changing the school's Web site after the fact - and he forwarded that information to the board to do with as it deemed fit.

This situation was never about cupcakes. It was about Mr. D'Amico falsely representing to a parent that there was an existing policy; then hurriedly adding the policy to the school's Web site to cover his tracks, and then, when asked about it by his superiors, outright lying them.

This guy D'Amico has egg (and icing) all over his face because he put it there - and he's damn lucky that he did not get fired. What parent, in good conscience, would want a person like that, who would go to such deceitful lengths over a silly thing like a birthday party, leading their child's school?

All Frank Carbino did was try to make his daughter's birthday as special as possible. That so many Glenville parents have supported this liar - and insulted a good parent like Frank Carbino - goes a long way toward explaining why that school is in the situation in which it finds itself.
