Late, last year, Mrs. Jackie Clarkson was informed her position was being "terminated". Mrs. Clarkson was a long time aide of a student, that happened to be on the autism spectrum. This student was raised, knowing he could count on Mrs. Jackie.

The student is not receiving the help he needs in classes, to pass. Many times, I and other students have stepped in, and taken on responsibility for the student's education, helping him when needed, trying to assist him in learning, but many times have we been shot down, by his "unhelpful" aide, by her "knowing what she's doing".

The student deserves the help he needs, that he only seemed to be getting from Mrs. Clarkson. Other aides have been provided; however, the student's needs are not being met.

Thank you.
