The Superintendent has recommended not to renew the contract of Robert Mitchell as Principal of Schuyler- Colfax Middle School.  

Mr Mitchell has been an administrator at Schuyler-Colfax for the past 14 years and Principal for the last 1.5 years.  

Since his appointment to Principal, morale, discipline and test scores have been better than ever (surpassing the other two middle schools).

Our concern is that this non-renewal is merely to make room for more outside hires.

We request that you sign this petition to have Mr. Mitchell reinstated as Principal.

 

Let's keep our Schuyler family together!

Seeing the numbers climb reminds me how much Robert Mitchell means to our kids. We are almost at one hundred signatures so please post this link to your own pages to help us reach the board before they ignore us again.

Absolute nonsense. He is a great leader and the school is finally heading in the right direction.

This is ridiculous. He has done so much for the staff and the kids in a short amount of time. Keep him!!

14 years of service and this is the thanks he gets? Disgraceful.
