It’s Not Over ‘Til It’s Over!

Thank you so much for helping us reach our first goal of 200 signatures! Next goal is 500. Let’s keep the ball rolling!

The numbers don’t lie! The data on the image attached to this announcement speaks for itself. Principal Schwartz is an asset. Our community WILL suffer if this decision is not reversed.

I had planned to speak on this at the most recent school board meeting, but was sadly informed that I would not be allowed to address the topic. The very next day, the district announced the principal’s departure publicly. Many in the community believe the timing reflects an effort to shut down dissent and move forward before meaningful public scrutiny could occur.  This raises concerns about transparency, accountability, and suppression of community participation within public school governance.

If you wish to further help our cause, I am humbly asking you to share this petition.  I have also included the contact info to the superintendent and school board members if you feel inclined to reach out.
