The Board of Education has officially suspended the principal search and authorized an independent investigation into the events surrounding the resignation. I am deeply appreciative of the residents who contributed their signatures to ensure transparency in our district. We will remain observant as this investigative process begins.

We, residents of the Pleasantville Union Free School District, petition the Board of Education of the Pleasantville Union Free School District to temporarily cease the current search for a new principal of Pleasantville High School, temporarily reinstate Dawn Bartz and hire an independent consultant to conduct an independent investigation into the events and circumstances leading up to the agreement signed on May 23, 2013 by Mary Fox-Alter, Dawn Bartz, Stephen Chamberlain, and Lois Winkler.  As taxpayers in this community, we want to be sure all mandated procedures were properly followed.

Dawn was doing a great job. why push her out so fast? something feels very wrong about how this was handled behind closed doors.

Bring her back. She was an asset to PHS and this whole thing stinks of poor leadership from the board.

Enough is enough. We deserve the truth about what went down with the contract. Stop the search now until we get some real answers.

Just conduct the investigation. If everything was done right then you have nothing to hide right?
