The impact of Superintendent Carol Lewis's leadership in the Moses Lake School District 161 has been felt deeply by my family, friends, and the entire community. We've seen firsthand how effective and compassionate educational guidance can shape the futures of our children, and yet, under her tenure, there have been issues that can no longer be overlooked.

Concerns have been raised regarding the negotiations of the Moses Lake Education Association (MLEA) contract. This process, crucial to ensuring fair and beneficial conditions for our educators and subsequently for our students, requires transparency and integrity. It is imperative that we have leaders who prioritize these values, understanding the importance of negotiation with the goal of enhancing the learning environment and professional satisfaction of our teachers.

Additionally, questions about the financial management within the district have prompted us to call for a forensic audit of Moses Lake School District 161's funds and balances. Public trust is at stake, and it is essential that all financial operations within our district are conducted with the utmost accountability. A forensic audit would help uncover any discrepancies and ensure that funds are being allocated effectively and appropriately, optimizing educational resources and opportunities.

We, therefore, request the School Board of the Moses Lake School District 161 to terminate the employment of Superintendent Carol Lewis and/or remove her from any further negotiations of the MLEA contract. This step is crucial for restoring trust and ensuring the best possible educational environment for our students.

Our children deserve an educational system that values integrity, transparency, and excellence. Sign this petition to demand the necessary changes for a brighter and more reliable future in education here in Moses Lake.
