That is a very good question Twinkletoes. Quite a lot if his boyfriend is also working at the school and influencing the decisions being made him. While I do not know anything about these guys, from what I have read here if even 20 percent of it is marginally trues then there certainly seems to be some boundary issues, as well very poor governance.twinkletoes wrote: ↑Sat Aug 07, 2021 3:35 pmWhat has his personal life got to do with his professional life?
What happened at southbridge?
No he is not in charge of marketing, his in charge of the whole school, at least he was when I was at Footprints with them.greenberet wrote: ↑Sat Aug 21, 2021 10:22 pmIt appears that the budget for marketing has been pulled.

This has been a great read. I am one of the unfortunate teachers who almost had her career destroyed by this liar and sociopath.
Dwayne Lehman should not be allowed anywhere near a school and its children. I can't imagine there is anyone in the world in a school leadership position who is as uniquely unqualified. Let’s be clear. The "Stafford University" setup doesn't even merit the term "diploma mill" as that would imply there was actually some completion of low-quality coursework. Dwayne simply just bought his "Masters of Educational Administration" from this fake degree website without actually completing any coursework. Here is a link to a news article which mentions this exact scam:
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-38494664
"An agency set up to investigate the issue, Higher Education Degree Datacheck (Hedd), said it had reports of more than 90 bogus institutions.
It follows a BBC South East investigation which found fake University of Kent degree certificates on sale online in China for £500.
Jayne Rowley, the higher education services director at Prospects which runs Hedd, said last September was its busiest month so far, with the closure of four bogus university sites and three websites selling fake degree certificates from multiple UK universities.
'One of the institutions we shut down in September was Stafford University. Now, of course there is an entirely genuine Staffordshire University, so they are piggy-backing on a name," she said."
Dwyane is the epitome of academic and intellectual dishonesty. Dwayne's work history should also raise serious red flags, for any organisation that bothers to examine it, that is.
He was fired from his first international role in Gabon around 2012, shortly into his second academic year. From there, he seems to have bounced around a few schools in Saudi Arabia, apparently failing to complete a full academic year at any of them. From there, he arrived in Vietnam around 2014 to take a Principal position at a low-quality chain of schools there, Singapore International School. Here, he left abruptly again in the middle of an academic year after untold amounts of drama and another teacher revolt, and cost the school its WASC accreditation. Due to this, he is now unable to obtain a work permit for Vietnam. He left Vietnam to take a position at a new startup school in China in mid-2016, taking a handful of teachers from SIS with him that he had encouraged to break contract. In true Dwayne style, he left after only a few months citing health reasons, leaving those teachers who had loyally followed him high and dry.
Just a week later, in July 2016 and magically recovered, he took a role as a director of a Korean-owned boarding school in the Philippines, bringing along a 20-year old, unqualified Vietnamese love interest who would essentially help him run the school into the ground. It’s worth reiterating here that Dwayne was able to get all of these jobs by blatantly lying about his academic qualifications, which should be enough to preclude someone from ever working at a school. It’s clear from this pattern that he gets in way over his head and has to leave shortly afterwards when teachers and administration realise what’s going on. This took a long time to happen at this school in the Philippines. Apparently, and quite laughably, the Korean board of directors believed they had snagged a “Stanford” graduate, and he was marketed as such. Lol. After 2.5 academic years that sent the school into a complete tailspin resulting in parent and student revolts, the board finally did some due diligence, and Dwayne was finally fired in late 2018. This was only after several serious incidents implicating Dwayne, one of which involved ordering the handcuffing of a high school boy after he was found with alcohol in a dorm he wasn’t supposed to be in. There were also a string of incidents involving a serious lack of professional distance with high school boys, many complaints from parents, and accusations of extreme favouritism from the girl students at the school.
From there, he made his way to Cambodia to take a director role at Footprints International School in 2019, and the Dwayne Lehman pattern continues unchecked. After a series of parent and student revolts resulting in the school board looking in more depth at his background, he was ostensibly given an ultimatum to leave or be fired, leaving the school in 2020. His next move is a little Kaiser Soze. He takes a role as Deputy Director at “Thai International School” in Bangkok, and his welcome to the school from October 2020 is still live on their Facebook page:
He can’t have been there long, as he is now, inexplicably, appointed as director of Southbridge International School in Cambodia. Kaiser Soze….
Does this sound like the work history of a professional school leader, or that of a conman? I’ll let you decide.
If anyone from the Southbridge International School community is reading this, I implore you to demand that Dwayne’s history and appropriateness for this role be suitably examined. Demand that questions are asked. Dwayne should absolutely not be in this position and should be removed from Southbridge International School.

IF these allegations are true, and IF this forum is read by Khmers in any sort of senior position in government, it does make one wonder why nothing has been done.
It sends the wrong signal to other potential conmen, in my opinion, that people can get away with this, and that the welfare of students, even at expensive schools, is not a priority.
Have no newspapers covered this?

Sorry, I forget, who is the ultimate owner of this school?
Anyway, I'm sure he/she/they would prefer to have a wonderful school where each student learns to their maximum potential, but the school itself might not be a serious ongoing priority. All owners care a little, but not all owners care enough.

Well this keeps getting better, people have been asking for proof about some of the claims made about Dwayne. Here is an excerpt from the Facebook introduction given to him at Thia International School.
"We would like to welcome Mr. Dwayne Lehman to the Thai International School (TIS) family. Mr. Lehman started his educational career over 30 years ago, teaching in the United States. During his career, he has taught and provided administration from grade Nursery to grade 12. Additionally, he has taught university classes for adult learners. Mr. Lehman has held the office of United States Educational Administrator, Superintendent of Schools, Headmaster, School Director, and Principal. Mr. Lehman has an M.S in Educational Administration from Stafford University and he is studying M.Ed. in Educational Administration in the University of the People. He holds both administration and teaching certifications from the United States. Additionally, he is certified in international curriculums such as Common Core, International Baccalaureate, and Cambridge International curriculum.
Since 2006 he has worked in the International School arena in over 7 countries from the middle east to the far east of Asia such as Singapore International School Vietnam, Footprints international School Cambodia, and American International School Libreville, Africa. He has also been an entrepreneur and held the office of CEO for many years."
Lets just check that, did they say Stafford University?
Where is that? I found it, it is in Uganda, Stafford University Uganda heres the link http://suu.ac.ug/programs.html
Here is the address
Tripati Mazima House Opp American Embassy Gaba Road,
Kampala Uganda
I checked the address on Google Maps, there is no "Stafford University" on the map, and certainly no universities across the road from the US Embassy.
His ony documented education is University of the People, Are you really enrolled there Dwayne? How long before actually finish it?
Doesn't this start to make you wonder about his others qualifications and claims. Attached are Dwaynes Lehmans public record of his social media profiles, each one of them is closed or currenly shut down. Why, what are you hiding or lying about.
Dwayne it is about time you come out and defended youself, instead of hiding and getting your little man boy to did it for you. You ruined my life at Footprints, what you did was awful its about time you experience it.

I worked for Dwayne Lehman, when he was Headmaster at Noblesse International School, Pampanga, Philippines.Prior he was Headmaster in Gabon at a shady, American School. Pretty much, 90℅ of everything written about Dwayne is true, and then some. He is a carpet bagger, a
used car salesman, and a useless perverted scumbag. Lehman should Never be allowed on any school property, he's a fake.

Have you ever considered a job as a private investigator? I'm very impressed. I would argue that Dwayne's incompetence is less of a Keyser Soze, and more like how this lady claimed she could speak french:
Also, if anyone from the school is reading this. Don't demand anything. Either leave quietly or keep your pay and your head down. No one above him cares or will do anything, but they will take away your job and make you pay back benefits as they kick you out the door. Dwayne isn't the only snake there, be careful.
Can anyone actually confirm if Dwayne is still at the school or not? It would seem that they've taken their "Message From Head of School" down, and he's not appearing in any of their start of year marketing or posts. From afar, it would seem the school is operating without a head? Anyone?
Excellent, then he is available for hire. With that quality CV he is sure to be snapped up right kwick!
And such a flexible history is a real advantage if the recently promulgated "No teachers or Education workers over 50 allowed on school grounds." rule is actually enforced. How old is Dwayne anyway, a dashing 34?
Dwayne resigned Anyone he brought in must be shaking in their boots right now. Better luck next time SISC! Just don't promote the next dysfunctional tyrant eh? Maybe do some official checks? Or just google? Nope? Same thing again then! Isn't a school a place of learning
Southbridge International school is filled with bad leadership from the CEO Raymond Yager to his minions Chandy Kim and Marie Janise Santos. Employment contracts mean nothing to them, they will lie to you, and cheat you out of your air flights as well as any other benefits, trust me I know since this is how they did me when I left the school last year. Many staff have left and most were treated the same way. They now have a new secondary principal Kim Peters who acts like a Mother Teresa, while telling lies on staff to only cover her evil deeds. It is a total disgrace for any school to claim to be an international school that operates like this. It is more of a circus full of clowns. Kim Chandy is now running the school with no academic background, and Marie Janise Santos with a hotel background is doing the Human Resources. Schools are to educate children not to abuse and inflict harassment on your teachers that works there.
