The district finally agreed to include our community in the hiring committee process for our new principal. I am drained from this fight but incredibly grateful to everyone who stayed with me to ensure we were not ignored. Keep paying attention because we must remain involved to protect the future …

Expect Transparency! Demand Equity - Kendallvue Elementary Principal Hiring Committee
Final supporters
First, we want to compel the district to provide transparency in this process to the community. The Kendallvue Community is a strong system of parents, students, and staff which have become vital to the growth and success of Kendallvue over the last 8 years of school leadership. We value the JeffCo principal of local control of our neighborhood schools and feel that this local control has been a cornerstone of Kendallvue’s revitalization and achievement in academic growth, innovation in learning, and our students first. District administrators are without transparency and without communicating to the Kendallvue Community. As the foundation of our school and driving force, the Kendallvue Community expects transparency in this process.
Second, we demand that the Kendallvue Community has an equitable voice in the hiring process of new school leadership. We believe that our Kendallvue Community members who fund our school through their enormous generosity, fundraising efforts, and taxes should have an equitable voice on this committee.
The Kendallvue Community needs to make their voices heard. Expect Transparency! Demand Equity! Please sign this petition and contact your district administrators!

Reaching this level of support has been exhausting yet it proves we are not alone in demanding better for our school. I am tired of the silence from the district but the momentum you have built gives me the resolve to keep pushing forward.

Christine is a great asset to Kendallvue and the community. We recently moved to Morrison in 2017 and enrolled our son at Kendallvue. Christine has left an impression that will stay with me, forever. She is a leader, committed to her students and staff, passionate, involved, follows through with her actions and makes her presence known in a very positive way. It would be a shame to lose her as a principal and a dedicated person of our community! It is encouraging to have someone thrive for our kids, staff and the well being of the community!! Please rethink this decision.
It was very shocking to hear about Ms. Austin being removed as Principal. This is very upsetting to parents and especially students who did not get to say goodbye. She did amazing things for Kendallvue and is a large reason we chose Kendallvue for our family. The way this has been handled is very disappointing. The Kendallvue community should have a voice in the future of our children.
As a parent of a student who is slated to attend Kendallvue next year, I am concerned about the lack of communication about the process of replacing Ms. Austin. I chose to enroll my child at Kendallvue because of the positive and unique environment and leadership here. As parents, we deserve to be represented in this decision making process so that the school can continue to serve the community in the same way.
As a parent and tax payer of Jeffco I expect the representatives that are responsible for managing our children’s education and well being should be transparent within our community and not based on their own personal agendas. As a community these administrators work for us and we should have a voice in any manner related to our children and their education. It’s sad to know that politics are getting in the way of the future of our community and our public education systems.
I have placed 2 students at Kendalvue over the last 17 years. My husband and his siblings have attended Kendallvue in the 80s and 90s when they were of age. It is outrageous that the community is not being heard and is having opportunities removed from us. Ms. Austin and all of the Kendallvue staff have offered tremendous support to our son who has an IEP and is in the SED class. The genuine care Ms. Austin provided during my son's first 2 years there, made him and us his parents grow to trust the school more and more. Ms. AUSTIN SHOULD BE RETURNED TO KENDALLVUE, PROMPTLY.
I demand to have our voices heard!!! These are our kids. We should have the say as to there future.

Ms. Austin is one of the reasons Kendallvue is so special. She has meant so much. Too many families and students. Firing her without giving the community a reason is not only wrong but harmful to so many families.
