Greenliving and tahoelover, thanks for the link.

After doing a search on the site using just "Darrington", a "Rick C. Darrington" does appear which dates back to 1996. The DCSD hired "Richard Legrand Darrington" so these are two different people altogether.

As the info on this site is current as of this moring, it appears that Richard Legrand Darrington has NO valid current or PAST Nevada teaching license.

I have submitted a letter to the NV Dept of Ed this morning asking for an inquiry as to his license status and have informed them of his past record in GA and Mexico. Will get back when I know something from them.

I haven't learned anything from NV Dept of Ed but I have learned that it MIGHT have been HR that had Darrington escorted off the Whittell campus on the 2nd after learning he did NOT have a VALID teaching license.

To get around this, Whittell has given him a "Volunteer" status so evidently he is still on campus there DESPITE the objections of HR. I'm presuming Princial Shannon is the one behind this and is prepared to defy anybody on HER hire.

Which posits the question: Without a VALID teching license, but evidently WITH a DCSD contract, is this person on the DCSD payroll?

I have heard back from ONE Trustee. But don't turn blue holding your breath waiting for something to happen from there.

In the meantime I'm presuming this person whose schools were CLOSED DOWN in Ga. and Mexico for abusing teens is (evidently) being permitted by Shannon to be up there on the Whittell campus as if he has never abused anyone.

tahoekid, someday when the truth can actually be told, you will see the only monkeys involved in this new DCSD fiasco are the see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil monkeys of Lark, Shannon & Trigg. They are masters of finger pointing & blame. If you think these days at that administrative office Lark allows anyone but her puppet masters Trigg & Shannon to make any type of decision, you are dead wrong. Shannon and Trigg have Lark possessed. Someday when all is said and done, Lark will realize that these two cronies she aligned herself with was the worst career move she ever made. Can anyone put a finger on why Shannon is so bent on keeping this child abuser on her campus? It makes me think someone owes someone big time!

Tex, you are right on the money on the escort off campus, but as with everything else these days, that gets lied about too. You keep up the good work because someone needs to care about our kids!

Finally heard yesterday from a person I presume was representing the DCSD "Trustees". I can't reveal what was said becuse I made my remarks and findings to them "strictly confidential" and "eyes only".

But you can rest assurred they are VERY up to date on Mr. Darrington.

And as they individually and collectively are now WELL informed, you may consider that anything that happens from here on out is THEIR FULL RESPONSIBILITY.

I have offered my services to them in the matter but I doubt I will hear back.

I noticed that Darrington's name has been removed from the Whittell High website as Dean, yet there is not a job posting for that position on the distirct employment website.

A quote from the DA Survivors website: I was there for 14 months. Hell yea im not gunna lie there was alot of wrong stuff going on there and it most definatley wasnt the best place ever but STOP think about it LOOK look what it has done in your life. look at the better person you have become because of it CHOOSE choose weather to remember it or let it go VOTE now DO IT and move on. Darrington sucked. but it changed my life. I would be dead if it werent for darrington academy. It saved my life. And now i know how to live. i got out almost a year ago and i have f*%#@d up alot since then but at least i can pick myself back up without falling apart again.

Another one: This is my first and last comment on this page. I believe that Darrington Academy changed my life for the better. Before I attended that school, I was disrespectful, spoiled, and quite honestly as stupid as they come. For the first time of my life I have meaning, and though most of you have gone back to everything you were doing, there are some who benefit from schools such as this. I loved the people I met, and I am greatful I went there. No. I didn't absolutely adore the stay, but that was the point. It motivated us to work to get out. Seriously though, if you didn't get anything out of it what you need to do is get over it and stop living yesterday's life. There's no reason to mope around feeling sorry for yourself. There's no reason to live in the past. I live for today, and I preach hope of tomorrow. DA saved me from me. I am a 'survivor' of myself, not of Darrington Academy. Also, I would like to say that I look up to

A quote from another DA graduate: I was there that day and dont remember anyone running at all. Unless it was the 2 boys that got caught 20 minutes later..
And Humm, there was no sexual abuse going on at D.A. I was there for 364 DAYS, I bet you dont even know that no one is allowed to even TALK without atleast one other person there plus the chaperone.
You all hear all this sh*t about the bad schools and yeah they are out there but Darrington isnt one of them, I am glad I am home but stop assuming every single one is so wrong.

This makes me sick. Compare the 3 comments that you have the are "good" aka lies, to the hundreds of comments and, interviews(of former students & chaperons) .. and surveillance videos.. that show not only the emotional & mental abuse, but the physical..

Cause see, to the untrained eye, those comments may be believable.. but to someone who has dealt with WWASP's for so long, you can tell that person is mentally brainwashed by the "I AM" quote & you can not deny to abuse that goes on with words.. let the videos speak & all of the evidence posted online.. because talk is CHEAP..especially when it comes to these money-sucking sick people.who abuse children daily behind closed doors.

I am fully aware of the whole, "Innocent until proven guilty" thing we have here in the US. But this guy is facing a felony battery charge. Seriously, couldn't Douglas County have found someone more fit for the job. There's gotta be somebody not facing a felony. Geeez!!!

There is a hug difference between being accused and being indicted or convicted. While nobody ever wants to be accused of any crime, I would give a lot of latitude to someone that gets in a scuffle with a student while operating a "private school for troubled teens". Let the legal system run its course...

DCSD Bulletin 302BP (2nd and 3rd sentences) clearly states: "The
Board shall approve the employment, fix the compensation, and establish the term
of employment for each person employed by this District. Such approval shall be
given only to those candidates for employment recommended by the
Superintendent."

Although it seems quite clear that Lark committed a gross MALFEASANCE in the discharge of her duties, it is the so-called "Trustees" who had the final approval here. It would seem that even though the "Trustees" had full access to all the facts concerning Mr. Darrinton prior to their approval but they chose to approve him anyway on Lark's recommendation - MALFEASANCE II.

Yet I'm sure the "Trustees" gave Lark a retroactive pay raise today.

I can't say I've ever seen such a malcompetent group of people in my entire life who have been entrusted with such positions of great consequence abrogate their authority. Disgusting!

Isn't it interesting that Principal Shannon conducted this "meet and greet" on the very same night as the school district board meeting? That was no coincidence, folks. That's how this master manipulator works. Having the meetings on the same night was a calculated plan. Shannon is so intent on pushing this child abuser on Whittell kids but why? She's supposed to care about the kids and not actually WANT to put them in harms way. Pushing Darrington on these kids is putting them in harms way. While Darrington is innocent until proven guilty, he should not be placed back into the very same environment that got him into trouble in the first place. It's like putting an accused bank robber in charge of the cash register. Who would want to do that? Sue Shannon would but God only knows why.

No Mr Mo, it was no coincidence this meeting was held on a Board Meeting night, impromptu and in secrecy so that even the press could not be there to hear the truth. Sue Shannon gets what she wants come hell or high water. She pulls on the puppet strings of Superintendent Lark and Lark goes through the motions.

And the final say of this hire is not the personnel department, it is the Superintendent, even if it was Sue Shannon who hand her hand in the sock puppet making her talk. The Board of Trustees, who should be the Board of Trust-don'ts, should finally get a back bone and put their foot down on this one.

And yes Texex-Xpress, the Board of Trust-don'ts did give Lark a pay raise retro to July even though teachers have lost their jobs, classified folks have lost days & pay and we have a Superintendent who needs a mentor after 3 years on the job. Pathetic is the only word I can come up with these days. Simply PATHETIC!

About 25? How difficult is it to count to 25? Was the meeting a secret from the parents too? Are we sure the attendees were parents? Maybe it was Whittell staff, or cardboard characters...how will anyone ever know since it was cloaked in secrecy just like everything else Shannon, Lark and Trigg do these days. Good job ladies, keeping everyone from your secret meeting. Just remember, karma is one step behind you and just one little slip, its going to be right on top of all of you because karma always catches up.

I read what he had to say and all I see is blah blah blah, always a victim, never a suspect. I can't even stand to look at that smug look on his fat head.

It just seems in this economy that there has to be a larger pool of employees to choose from, even some with NO charges against them. Wow, what a concept. I can't wait to see how this plays out. Or the first time he grabs somebodys kid here. Whichever comes first.

As a parent I am appalled at this situation and put blame entirely with Lark, Shannon and Trigg . The state of this district is absolutely abhorent, and my child will not attend Douglas County schools until Lark is gone - I would rather pay decent money for a GOOD education and the safety of my child than allow my child to be subjected to the ludicrous choices being made by those in control. I'm ashamed of the choices being made by Lark and the Trust-don'ts. Whether he has been charged or not, there is suspicion and he should not be allowed access to the children of our community.

Having been in charge of a group of unruly kids in the past, it has never been necessary to cause injury to any of the individuals no matter how disruptive they became. There are ways todeal wih such matters without resorting to injury and Darrington should have been aware of the consequences of his actions.

Does Whittel High School have such a bad reputation that Sue Shannon feels the need for an agressive administrator like Darrington or is there no one else to fill the position?

If I were a parent of a child in this school they would be removed until the situation were resolved.
Parents need to be heard when it comes to their concerns for child safety in the school.

How much of a background check was done. Reading this link clearly sends signals of a past shady operation. Perhaps he should have applied to be a prison guard!!!!!!!!!!

Lol, no sweat... Well, the saga has now also spread onto another thread, as the folks of Clark County, Nevada, continue to put pressure on their local school administrators:

Can you hire this man, please?

Suffice it to say, Richard Darrington is now looking for a new new job.
