The DeKalb County School Board has failed its students, teachers, and community. From poor leadership decisions to a lack of transparency and accountability, our district’s integrity has been deeply compromised. As parents in this district, we have watched in frustration as our schools have struggled under ineffective leadership. Our children deserve better, and it is time for change.

For too long, the current DeKalb County School Board members have operated without the necessary oversight, leading to a series of blunders which have detrimentally impacted educational standards and trust within the community. Reports have shown a decrease in graduation rates and student performance in standardized tests, pointing to systemic problems that have been ignored. Transparency in decision-making is non-existent, and teachers, whose voices should guide educational policy, are often disregarded.

We need a leader who is committed to fostering an educational environment where students can thrive. Dr. Sauce has demonstrated an exceptional record of improving school performance, increasing community engagement, and prioritizing student outcomes in previous roles. His vision for educational excellence, coupled with his inclusive leadership style, promises to restore the credibility and cohesiveness that our district currently lacks.

We demand the immediate resignation of all current DeKalb County School Board members and the appointment of Dr. Sauce as the permanent Superintendent. These steps are not only necessary to dissolve the toxic environment perpetuated by the existing board but also crucial in ensuring our children’s future is given the highest priority.
