Our previous theatre teacher, Connor Graham, was removed from Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts (BAVPA) without students being informed or given an explanation. Our current  teacher has raised serious concerns to students and parents alike regarding the quality and level of instruction we are receiving. Our biggest concern is that we are no longer being challenged at the level expected of students in our grade and program. 

 We understand that staff changes can be difficult and every teacher has a different teaching style. However, this situation has begun to affect our education in that we are not being taught proper lessons conducive to our grade level. Therefore, we are asking that you sign this petition to have Mr. Graham reinstated as the theater teacher at BAVPA.
