FEDS Investigate Racial Discrimination at Two Broward County Schools!!!

Civil Rights investigators from the U.S. Department of Education are checking into the admission policies of two Broward county schools: Virgina Shulman Young and (Not-Near-The) Beachside Village Montessori in Hollywood. Beachside, Jennifer Gottlieb’s pet boondoggle project, was subject of the recent Grand Jury Report. Investigators want to know if the admission policies discriminate against minority students.

Hello, McFly! Anyone with half a brain knows Beachside is the school for south side elites who don’t want to pay for private schools; How many neighborhood kids go to Beachside?

The Miami Herald reports, “Superintendent Jim Notter has said officials found no evidence Beachside’s policies resulted in a disproportionate enrollment of wealthy students.” Are these the same officials that found no “evidence” that Bev Gallagher and Stephanie Kraft were being naughty? Same folks that gave Ann Murray a slap on the wrist for a racial slur?

Beachside is located in School Board Member Ann ” No Cheap Seats” Murray’s district. The school is part of the South Area of the School district. Dr. Joel D. Herbst runs the South Area.

RED BROWARD reported yesterday that someone at Herbst’s home address may have donated big bucks to Jennifer Gottlieb and her husband.

Should Contributors To School Board Members Political Campaigns Be Considered For Superintendent Job?


The Miami Herald reports Broward Schools have set a mid-September deadline for hiring James Notter’s replacement. The Herald says the School Board will name an interim superintendent from within the District. Multiple sources have told RED BROWARD that Dr. Joel D. Herbst is the leading candidate. Herbst is the Broward School District’s South

Area Superintendent. The South Area is Ann Murray’s neck of the woods. It is also home to School Board Member Jennifer Gottlieb’s Beachside Village Montessori School; a boondoggle highlighted in the recent Grand Jury report.

Jennifer Gottlieb was re-elected in  August 2010. Ms. Gottlieb’s husband, Ken Gottlieb was elected to the Broward County bench in 2010.

On March 27, 2009, Wellness Matters Inc., a Boca Raton based corporation, gave a $500.00 political contribution to Jennifer Gottlieb’s campaign:

State of Florida documents show Wellness Matters, Inc. is owned by Julie Herbst of Boca Raton, Florida. It appears Wellness Matters Inc is a distributor of the food supplement known as “JUICE PLUS”.

Palm Beach County records show Wellness Matters Inc. operates from a home owned by Julie Herbst and Joel D. Herbst.
