I had a meeting with Dr. Pouncey last week and hope this new principal follows the new guidelines handed down when dealing with people with disabilities.

From my experience dealing with him in the past, he’s just plain rude not only to students but also to parents. My son was enrolled at Pinson but went to Shades Valley for electrical all day every day, long story short is after dealing with him when he was at Pinson before, when my older son went there, I pulled my younger one out of school after the first week when he took over at Shades Valley. Some have major power trips and won’t even try to listen to parents. Just my opinion. Hope he’s changed.
