As students and staff of Pine Creek High School in Colorado Springs, CO, we are deeply saddened and confused by the abrupt leave of our valued leader, Mrs. Cormaney. Her absence was announced without any explanation or justification provided to the school community. This lack of transparency has left us feeling unsettled and disheartened.

Our school district has a responsibility to keep its community informed about major changes that directly impact our learning environment. The sudden departure of a principal is not an insignificant event; it affects every student's education and every staff member's work environment.

According to the National Education Policy Center at the University of Colorado Boulder, transparency in educational institutions is crucial for maintaining trust within their communities (NEPC). Yet, we find ourselves questioning this trust due to the recent events at Pine Creek High School.

We urge our school district to provide clear answers regarding Mrs.Cormaney’s leave. We deserve an explanation that respects our right as members of this educational community to be informed about significant changes affecting us directly.

Please sign this petition if you believe in promoting transparency within our school district and support our call for clear communication regarding Mrs.Cormaney’s situation.
