I worked for Castro Valley high school. I met Paul through coaching little league. I wish that I had worked for him. He is one of the nicest persons I have ever known.

Mr. Burke is an outstanding example of what a principle should be. He is what is best for the students and that is what matters.

I am so disgusted by the treatment of such an amazing Principal. My family & I stand by Paul Burke 100% and demand he be reinstated immediately so that he may do what he was hired to do!

Paul was a positive and very supportive parent in my classroom at Brooks Elementary School. I had the privilege of teaching two of his children and could not have asked for a better volunteer. He also served in other volunteer capacities on our campus and helped with special events. I was elated to hear about his position as principal at OR and have only heard great things from students, parents and staff since he began his tenure there.

Paul is a great man and has even taken time to share advice with me as a new school administrator.

Mr. Burke has taken the exceptional standing of ORHS and enhanced it even further in just 2 years! He has bridged parent and student groups, taking the time and interest to connect and encourage across the board in academics, athletics, and extra-curricular activities. If it is his forward-thinking vision supposedly "away from academics" that is being questioned, then let's take a hard look at our scores and let those numbers do the talking: http://orhs.eduhsd.k12.ca.us/documents/2015_SARC_English_Oak%20Ridge%20High.pdf I hope EDUHSD will resolve this quickly and fairly with everyone's input, so we can all get back to focusing on college apps for our seniors and final exams for our students! #BackBurke Angela Nicholson, mom to Veronica 2016, Rachel 2018, Annalise 2020, and Zachary 2025

All of my interactions with Mr. Burke have been nothing but positive. He has always shown respect towards me and has been a complete professional while representing Oak Rudge High School. I would hope that if an investigation is taking place due to any type of allegation against Mr. Burke that those conducting the investigation would gather input from students, parents, Foundation Board Members, Booster Members, Site Council Members and various community members that he interacts with regularly. #BackBurke

The students respond to him and his positive attitude, he is needed at Oak Ridge to keep moving in the right direction.

Our son Logan graduated last year. He thought Mr Burke improved the school and especially social issues in his short time there. From a parent's perspective, Mr Burke never failed to greet us at school events and discuss Logan's progress and plans. He's thoroughly engaged in the school and improving students' time there. It would be a shame to step backward.
