200 Signatures! Fantastic.

Filed under: General and Misc — cindy_nicita at 10:58 pm on Wednesday, May 27, 2009

Thanks to everyone who showed their support for Mr. Neidlinger this morning!

A small group of parents collected more than 200 signatures in just 30 minutes during morning drop-off.  It was fantastic to see so many parents seeking out the petitions to add their names in support.

The petitions were then delivered to the Chicago Board of Education’s regular meeting this morning at 10:30 AM.  Two parents made a brief statement in support of Mr. Neidlinger before the Board and submitted the petitions for the members’ consideration, along with copies of Local School Council correspondence and letters of support from parents, teachers and Alderman Scott Waguespack.

Board President Michael Scott expressed his appreciation for bringing the matter to his attention, and he stated he would take another look at the matter.

Come to Friday’s Local School Council meeting to hear more details about the Chicago Board of Education Meeting and participate in the planning of next steps.

Please join us in supporting Mr. Neidlinger as principal-elect!

Filed under: General and Misc — cindy_nicita at 11:58 pm on Tuesday, May 26, 2009

Most of you received a letter that was sent home Tuesday in backpacks regarding actions taken against Mr. Neidlinger by CPS officials.  In response, concerned parents have created the attached petition to be presented to the Board of Education at the Wednesday, June 27 meeting.   Please show your support!

Look for parents collecting signatures at drop-off Wednesday morning.
