We, the parents, staff, and students of Kestrel Heights School (Kestrel) are urging the North Carolina State Board of Education to renew Kestrel's charter for the entire school (K-12).  The current administration is fully aware of the failures of the previous administrators in allowing students to graduate without the proper credentials.  They have stepped forward, self-reported the findings, fully investigated the issues, provided options to assist the affected students, and have developed procedures for ensuring this issue is not repeated.  We have every confidence in the current administration and are confident the procedures put in place will prevent the re-occurrence of these issues.  As everyone from the previous administration is no longer at Kestrel any punishments will only hurt our students, their families and the current staff.  We urge the Board of Education to put our students first and renew the charter for the entire school.
