As a Fredonia Central School District parent and/or taxpayer, we the undersigned are dissatisfied with the district’s lack of leadership, careless spending of our tax dollars, and the delayed and poorly planned pandemic reopening for the 20-21 school year. We the undersigned demand practical and decisive leadership from school officials, prudent and conservative expenditures of our tax dollars, and a fair and equitable reopening plan that culminates in fulltime in person instruction for all students.

I have spent my week reading through the messages you all have sent regarding the district fiscal management and the recent reopening failures. It is clear that my family is not the only one feeling ignored by the current administration. We are still waiting for a meaningful response from the board so I will continue pushing for the accountability our community deserves.

Seeing this kind of momentum feels like a weight lifting off my shoulders. It is clear that I am not the only one in this community who is tired of the current lack of transparency and leadership.

With the current plan for two days a week starting November 23rd the kids will only get 8 days of in-person before the new year ..... how sad!!!!
Yes...I am a grandma and I see that the children are the ones that are suffering....they never know from one day to the next where they are going or what they are doing..I don't understand how some schools can go back full time but not others.. please help our children
I would also like to see the teachers be a little more cooperative with administration to do what’s best for the students and not focus so much in their contract
Pushing back reopening repeatedly is ridiculous! Equitable access for all is needed now! Schools have been closed since March, the plan...shouldn't be wait and see. Disservice to all children. My daughter is an 8th grade able to participate in after school sports but unable to be in person at school...Unbelievable!!
This is insane, a lot of kids are having a hard time learning online they need the interaction to succeed. If all other schools can be in person and colleges then there is no reason our kids can't go back to school.
Open up the school. Each day missed puts the kids another day behind.
The handling of the back to school process from Fredonia has been lackluster with little communication. My UPK student is only attending half days, with nearly every Friday off. I doubt he's learning much in two hours. Mrs Piper said there are no plans to allow the students to return to full days later in the year. My high schooler is doing CTE at Boces, hybrid. The school set him up to go on Thu/Fri because they stated he would return to Fredonia on those days when they returned to hybrid. Now they changed it, with no explanation, to Wed/Fri. I emailed Mr Paschke about this and was essentially told "too bad." It's clear that the school isn't taking ALL students into account. The only good thing I can say is about my 2nd grader. She has awesome teacher and has a very small class size, going to school full time. In general, all of the teachers have been great. The administration is the problem.

The delay in opening for MS/HS is ridiculous!! I work in a school that offers in person, hybrid, and/or fully virtual. Everyone else can figure it out, why not Fredonia?!
