Her comments are completely unacceptable and she should not be holding an elected position on behalf of tax payers.

This is so disgraceful and infuriating. Leadership like this is worse than no leadership at all. Elgie should resign and so should the Education Director and every member of the Board of Trustees who isn't speaking out and agitating for her ouster.

That anyone who would use this slur is in the position to control the education of children is completely unacceptable. Step down now.

A sincere apology would include a voluntary resignation - since there is apparently no way to fire a person from this position.

Elected officials who fail to demand and maintain standards of human rights and dignity must be fired immediately. She has no business near children or doing anything on their behalf. She lied at first about what she said. Stop focusing on her forced apology. Her instinct was to lie and deny. This is not a person of integrity.

There is absolutely no space for ANYONE let alone an adult in a position of power to call a parent, student or anyone else the N word. This trustee MUST RESIGN.

As a black parent I can not believe that an apology is enough for this unacceptable behaviour. There is No room for teachers like that in our Schools!

I do not condone the use of racial slurs in any form at anytime and I hold our elected officials to the same standard. I sign this petition to request the immediate resignation of Ms. Elgie
