Over the years we have watched our schools improve.
This has been the result of the work of our district staff, our wonderful community supporting our schools, and our school organizations.
It has all happened under the direction of our school board—five individuals who put careful thought and research into their decisions.
We hope our community will take the time to seek valid information and consider the disastrous outcome if our board and/or superintendent were to be forced out, or to walk away. The recall petition and continual requests for records are using valuable time and money from our district resources.
Mr. Pflueger has publicly asked us to accept his resignation and to move forward.
Mr. Thompson’s reference to a master’s thesis did not warrant any sanctions from the state of Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. His twenty-five years as a teacher, principal, director of curriculum and student learning, and superintendent were reviewed by members of a superintendent search committee made up of teachers, parents, counselors and principals and he stood out as the top choice for our district.
We urge community members to become involved in a positive way, and to allow school employees to focus on their daily work to do the best job possible in educating our island children.
