Administrator, please do not remove these documents.

Is someone related to someone? I understand they could've placed him in a less sensitive job with the same amount of money.

I agree that this information is important but I do wish we could blot the plantiff's name out for privacy. She deserves privacy.


I am incredibly angry that LPS would allow this lowlife to stay employed AND working with special needs students. Whoever made that decision should feel deeply ashamed.

Yes, that is good and correct to protect the plaintiff.

Here is a response I recieved from Ms. Chomicz on the issue of anger management referals for LPS employees. Either Ms. Chomicz is being less than truthfull, or they have no system in place to track employees who are violent. Neither surprises me. Sigh....

Awwwwwww....... WE already know Dorothy lies, or is just plain incompetent, or both based on her lack of qualifications for the position and her inability to tell the whole truth.

As someone who promotes Sunshine Laws...

Just how difficult would it be to search the 'bills paid' file for how much was spent with the anger management consultant. Divide the total by the charge for one employee = rough approximation of the number of referred employees. Since the consultant is paid with public money, a short phone call from the district should yield the exact number.

Are you saying that the district employs an "anger management consultant"? What information do you have about this?

Absolutely no information. Consultant = trainer = mental health contractor.

It may be different if the situation is not court ordered, but I would have to believe that if an employee is required to take an 'anger management program', there would be financial records of the event. If it wasn't court ordered, would the union have records? The employee should be required to show proof of completion of a class at a place like this: http://www.mhweb.org/wayne/etrs.htm

Just as 'flu immunization' charges are all billed to a common account, all the 'anger management program' charges should be billed to a common account. All you need to know is the correct account number being charged to be able to search the database for how many occurrences there were.

That is one method to get the answer. There are probably many other ways to get it. Sunshine Laws promote transparent government, where the burden of providing information rests with the public body, not with the requester stumbling onto the perfect phrasing of the request.

That would assume that LPS wanted to abide by such laws in a honest, forthright manner.

This would be the same FOIA coordinator - Dorothy Chomicz - who releases SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS and other PERSONAL DATA on FOIAs, even though that is against the law?

This would be the same FOIA coordinator - Dorothy Chomicz - who is in a position she has no qualifications for and no knowlwdge of how to do?

This would be the same FOIA coordinator who does not know what the FOIA law states, how to respond in a timely manner, or loses her composure completely when questioned regarding a FOIA?

YEP, THAT WOULD BE DOROTHY CHOMICZ!

She is a nincompoop that only hurts the district by her incompetence. One of these days the feds will catch up to her mistakes and it will cost all of us huge amounts of money from our children's education to pay off the lawyers, the fines, and the lawsuits. I hope she serves a long term in a federal penitentiary and takes plenty of time to think about what she should have done right the first time.

Isn't she the one who is ultimately responsible for this whole parapro lawsuit & reoccurring assault issue? If she is in charge of personnel she certainly is bucking for time time in the pen.

Note that she is also the FOIA coordinator, and as such signs all the FOIA responses. It's her duty to make sure they are accurate, and her fault when they are not.

District hires new human resources director


Livonia Public Schools hired a new director of human resources last week.

Current Principal of Holmes Middle School, Dorothy Chomicz will take on the administrative cabinet position July 1.

Stephen Smith recently retired from the position, so it will remain vacant until the start of the new fiscal year when Chomicz takes over.

"She's a wonderful team player, and also a no-nonsense person," said Randy Liepa, superintendent.

He said Chomicz will bring to the position "a wealth of experience in our school district."

She has been principal of Holmes Middle School since 1994. Prior to that, Chomicz served as an assistant principal at the school, as well as at Emerson Middle School. She taught language arts and social studies classes at both Emerson and Riley middle schools, and has earned honors including Teacher of the Year and the District's School Improvement Team Effort Award.

Chomicz earned her bachelor's and master's degrees from Wayne State University, as well as certification and post graduate work from both Madonna University and Marygrove College.

"This is certainly a great opportunity for me," said Chomicz, as she accepted her new position.

She told the board that she's very people-oriented and has a collaborative leadership style.

"Learning is my number one priority," said Chomicz. "I support a learning environment that's caring. We need to have a safe learning environment."

"...We need to have a safe learning environment"

What about a safe working environment? isn't the private information of the employees important Dorothy? What about a safe transportation environment? isn't that important to the parents and students? What about being educated enough to do the job you were anointed to do by liepa? Isn't that important to avoiding lawsuits & costly embarrassing incidents to our schools? Just what is that you really do that has any value Dorothy, besides call the lawyers to answer every question for you since you cant seem to do that for yourself? Where is the value in having somebody like this in a position that can cause more harm that help (and so far proving it).

Well, she collects a paycheck from us (CHOMICZ DOROTHY A $132,771.63). That sure has a lot of value. For her.
