They pleaded with city council members to re-instate the camp.
BEACHWOOD, Ohio — One by one, dozens of parents, students and former theatre students made their way into Beachwood’s City Council meeting Monday evening. They were singing and holding signs that said ‘Save our summer,’ ‘Bring Back Jill,’ and ‘Don’t Cancel Summer.’
She said not only are the 53 families who were enrolled heartbroken but past and present families are upset over the city’s firing of longtime director and founder of the camp, Jill Koslin-Freireich. He said the decision had to be made because there weren’t enough counselors who applied for the camp, there was not the proper paperwork filled out on time, and when it comes to Koslin-Freireich, it was a personnel issue that cannot be discussed publicly.
“In my world, in the legal world, paperwork is important. Applications are essential. It’s how we conduct business, especially when children are involved and background checks and drug screens must be performed.”“When there are red flags and there are things the community needs to understand, we would’ve liked to know about it beforehand because the alternatives being offered now such as the sports camp and Bison camp are not viable alternatives,” said one parent to council members.
