HYPOCRISY
• Even though student assignments were the
superintendent’s responsibility, Mary Ann Frye personally placed
special needs students in other districts using taxpayer money
.
• Mary Ann Frye refused to allow
the superintendent to participate in crucial IEP meetings.
(She claimed that the superintendent chose not to attend meetings, and
chose not to respond to pleas for assistance.)
• Among other schools, Many Ann
Frye placed Reynoldsburg special needs students at Summit Academy,
Marburn Academy, Brookwood Community Learning Center, Virtual Community
School of Ohio, Cross Creek Day Treatment Program, and Excel Academy,
Inc using taxpayer money.

. The exact nature of their relationship has not been determined,
but she did not object to this convict exposing easily-influenced emotionally-disturbed
students to inner city insight; including "Guitars or Guns,
books or bullets, I'm down."
• Mary Ann Frye used school attorneys,
at taxpayer’s expense, to force parents into complying
with these placements. (Reynoldsburg administrators gave up
on protecting their special needs students once Excel Academy, Inc.
officials said the RCSD had no jurisdiction over them.)
• As Mary Ann Frye attempted
to convince concerned parents that out-of-district placement was
best, she simultaneously co-authored a contradictory study in which
she used Reynoldsburg students as “guinea pigs”. This study
confirmed that in-school placement is far more beneficial for much
less taxpayer money.
• The Reynoldsburg High
School Trailerblazers Program is cited as a successful, and less
expensive, alternative to out-of-district placement in this Ohio
State University study, but Mary Ann Frye continued to deny these
benefits to younger disabled students.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
• According to the RCS Policy
Manual; Section G - Personnel, GBCA Staff Conflict of Interest,
“Employees shall not engage in, nor have a financial interest in,
any activity which conflicts with their duties and responsibilities
in the District” and “Employees shall not engage in work of any type
in which information concerning a customer, client or employer originates
from any information available to them through District sources.”
1) Mary Ann Frye,
an administrator with unlimited access to student records, pushed
Reynoldsburg’s most vulnerable students toward the Cross Creek Day
Treatment Program. She ignored advice from medical professionals
and invited the Cross Creek director to attend confidential IEP meetings.
2) Cross Creek
is a “halfway house” for youths with criminal backgrounds, and is
run by the Educational Service Center.
3) Cross Creek
receives approximately $18,000 a year of taxpayer money per
Reynoldsburg student sent to them by Mary Ann Frye. (Compare
this with only $8,000 of taxpayer money being spent per student within
Reynoldsburg’s district.)
4) Ohio Department
of Education records reveal that Mary Ann Frye is also an “active”
subcontractor (PRAXIS III Assessor) for the Educational Service
Center , and there may be a lucrative post-retirement opening
on their Board of Directors... a mere 3 minute commute from the Frye
residence.

Code Ann. § 2151.421, Mary Ann Frye is a Mandatory Reporter of

• According to Ohio Rev.

(March 22, 2007) in which Mary Ann Frye was alerted to a “suspicion
of abuse” of a Reynoldsburg special needs student. There was
no reply. There was no report. Law enforcement was never
contacted.
• This same alert was also
sent to the confirmed email address of Reynoldsburg’s superintendent.
• “False Reporting” could
be enforced if officials attempt to “unring the bell” and pursue
charges at this time; Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 2151.421(G)(b)(2),
(H)(3) or Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 2921.14.
PLEASE NOTE: There
is no evidence that Mary Ann Frye was directly or indirectly involved
in the actual alleged sexual abuse of the disabled student.
This accusation is not currently being made by any party.
