Complaint Review: American Academy of Cosmetology

 - Wednesday July 19th 2017 I had a Physical Altercation with the Above complainant Linda Brown who is the schools Financial Aid Advisor. The Altercation was due to Financial issues that she couldn't explain that were later explained to me by the Owner Rick Wallace. After the incident I was asked not to contact the Clay county sheriffs department because it would make him & the school look bad with the department of education.. I contacted CCSD Thursday July 20th to report the altercation because the owner never made a incident report and I felt threatened because My civil rights have been violated & I was Assaulted. The officer charges Linda brown with Battery.

I returned to school Friday July 21st & upon entering the school I was Immediately asked to come in the office. Before being forced to take a Leave of absence by the Director (Carla Mellma) & Owner (Rick Wallace) until my investigation against Linda brown was over, I was told that if I drop the charges he would allow me to continue my education. She was never disciplined & was still in office so they contacted Clay county sheriffs department to Escort me out of the school. While on my Leave of absence I received a email from Rick Wallace asking to confirm a Meeting on July 24th at 4pm. Before the meeting I received another email from him stating that he no longer wishes to continue my education due to my behavior in the office. At 4pm I went to the school & was given withdrawn paperwork but no transcripts or any counseling on exiting the proper way. I never intended this issue to result in ending my education.

I feel the owner retaliated against me to protect himself with the government. I would like to continue my education but in order to do so I need transcripts. I am currently getting treatments with Dr.Silver at a Chiropractor facility. I have supporting Documents & my case number from the Clay county sheriffs department.
