To Bettendorf Community School Board of Education:

We, the undersigned parents of children who are attending or have attended the Bettendorf Community Public Schools, students and community members who share similar concerns are asking for a "Vote of No Confidence" in Dr. Morse.

The undersigned petitioners believe that the Superintendent has acted inefficiently, incompetently, and is a detriment to the Bettendorf Community Public School system and we request that she resign or be let go effective immediately.  

Since August 2021, we have had 45 staff and 5 administrators resign and 10 staff elect early retirement. This is completely unacceptable, our district is losing qualified and experienced staff. After the difficulties we have experienced during COVID, and so many leadership positions leaving and the current lack of leadership, our district has suffered greatly.    

Dr. Morse has completely failed in her legal duties to provide a safe learning environment for students and staff which has hindered student achievement and teachers ability to teach. It is for these reasons that this community is asking for the board to dismiss Dr. Morse or that she resigns of her own accord.
