I have used this provider for more than 6 months

COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL DIRECTOR..SHE NEEDS TO RETIRE BC HER HEART IS NOT IN IT!! I HAVE SCREENSHOTS OF OUR CONVOS TO PROVE IT. My son got a head injury from another student and I received no phone call what so ever. When confronted about the lack of communication, Gayle's response was "put some ice on it", then when I said that wasn't a good enough answer, her next response was, "What do you want me to do? Do you want me to come get him and take him to the doctor?" Thete is a HUGE turn over rate over teachers, by the time you learn their names, then they are gone.
