PLEASE  AUGUSTA RESIDENTS ONLY!!!

Personal to me and countless other parents and students is our concern regarding the current principal of Cony high/middle school. Our core issue stems from a persistent lack of attention towards fair and unbiased administration of sports activities within the school. 

The issue reached a tipping point  when the MPA said they would not comply with title 9 and allow biological boys to participate in women's sports without due consideration of the concerns raised by parents and students alike. This decision undermines the spirit of fair competition that our school and community strive to uphold, and strikes a blow against gender equality.

We strongly believe in the power of sports as a crucial tool for youth development. In fact, according to a report by The Women’s Sports Foundation, girls who participate in sports have higher self-esteem and lower levels of depression. However, these benefits could be undermined if the school administration continues to ignore the significance of fair play.

We request the Augusta school board to acknowledge our concerns and bring up a vote regarding the principal's dismissal. It is our belief that a change in leadership is needed to ensure fair and equitable participation in sports for all genders, promoting a healthy and inclusive school environment.
