The board finally agreed to honor Andrew's credits and he will be allowed to graduate. It has been an exhausting road to get here but we refused to let them ignore his work. Thank you for staying with me through this fight.
It is the current intention of the Board of Central Academy to refuse to honor passing grades and course work thus preventing Andrew Mitcham from Graduating on May 15, 2009. A course outline has been signed by the Guidance Counselor, two English teachers and the Assistant Headmaster of Central Academy. Any decision or prevention of Andrew's matriculation at this late date is not only retroactive decision making, but also a malicious, grievous, and negligent act by the Board. My signature below states that I support Andrew Mitcham receiving a graduation diploma based on his completed course work with passing grades.
The Board remains silent despite our repeated attempts to get them to acknowledge the work Andrew has already completed. I am exhausted by these bureaucratic games but I am not walking away from this fight until he gets his diploma.

Reaching this level of support feels heavy because it shows how many people recognize the injustice being done to Andrew. I am exhausted by this fight but seeing so many people rally behind him keeps me going.

Total garbage. The board needs to get a life and stop picking on students just because they can.
