Dear Supporters,

Thank you once again for standing with us and lending your voices to this important cause. I want to keep you informed on the latest developments.

Following the guidance of the “Communication – Addressing Parent / Community Concerns” protocol shared with me by the Board, I have redirected our concerns to Ms. Tracy Dinsmore, as required by the process. Earlier today, I sent a formal and respectful letter to Ms. Dinsmore, requesting that she consider stepping down from her role as Principal of Holland Chatsworth Central School.

In the letter, I acknowledged the complexity of the situation but emphasized the depth of concern felt by many parents regarding the current leadership. I asked that she respond to both the parent community and the Board by 2:30 PM on May 28, 2025.

If she chooses to remain in her position, I have expressed my willingness to move forward with the next step in the communication process and meet with the appropriate administration.

I have also made it clear that the petition will remain active. It represents the collective voice of our community, and removing it now would silence the concerns that so many have courageously expressed.

📢 What You Can Do:
If you feel strongly about this issue and haven’t done so already, I encourage you to write a short, respectful message to the Board and school leadership to share your personal concerns or support for change. Every voice matters.

Here are the key email contacts:

Ms. Lauren Penner-Lipsett (Superintendent): lauren_penner-lipsett@bwdsb.on.ca
Ms. Tracy Dinsmore (Principal): tracy_dinsmore@bwdsb.on.ca
Ms. Lori Wilder (Director of Education): lori_wilder@bwdsb.on.ca
Thank you again for your continued support and strength. I’ll keep you updated as this moves forward.

In solidarity,
Les Medve
