Growing up and residing in Orland Park, IL, I deeply care about the quality of education and leadership in our school district. However, it has come to my attention that the current assistant superintendent, Dave Snyder, may not be the right fit for Orland School District 135.

Community feedback suggests concerns regarding his leadership style, decision-making processes, and impact on student and teacher morale. Multiple parents and teachers have raised issues that range from lack of transparency in administrative processes to inadequate support for both staff and students. These concerns not only affect the present educational environment but also threaten to undermine the future of our children’s education.

Statistics from neighboring districts show that effective and transparent administration leads to better student outcomes, higher teacher satisfaction, and stronger community trust. It is imperative that our school district seeks leadership that aligns with these values and is committed to nurturing a positive educational atmosphere.

Many members of the Orland Park community have expressed a desire for change—a change that we believe begins with the removal of Dave Snyder from his position. By doing so, we can open the doors to a leadership style that brings about transparency, effective communication, and unwavering support for our schools.

Let us come together to demand the best for our children’s education and future. I urge you to join me in signing this petition to advocate for the necessary administrative changes in Orland School District 135. Your signature can set the foundation for a brighter, more promising future for our community's schools. Please sign and let your voice be heard.
