I watched the entire 5-hour board meeting. The overwhelming support for the superintendent would have led a functioning, thoughtful, and professional board to consider alternatives. Shame on four members to discount the children, parents, teachers and administrators only to follow their political agenda.

Just stop with the extreme politics and let teachers teach. What you’ve done to Dr. Asplen is unconscionable.

The school board doesn’t care about all our students! They are only interested on their political own interests and working on destroying public education.

Our children have experienced a pandemic/endemic, a hurricane, and an unprecedented increase in testing. Please do what is best for them and retain Superintendent Asplen. When you treat dedicated educators in this manner, who do you think is going to show up?

Ms. Zeigler along with Ms.Rose are wasting our money and resources for what seems political purposes, and likely financial for Ms. Zeigler. This cannot continue and I hope this has been a wake up call.

This action is a blatant political move. As a teacher from a family of teachers, it breaks my heart that the school districts are being used as pawns against the interests of the students and parents.

The removal of Dr. Asplen is totally unjustified, needlessly disruptive, and nakedly political.
