Ms. Vivi and Ms. Sanchez are staying. We won because you refused to stay quiet. Now we stay vigilant.

One of the pillars and driving forces at Luther Burbank School, Ms. Vivi (Viviana Rodriguez) was, given less than 1 hour notice, informed that either her position or that of Ms. Juanita Sanchez was going to be eliminated effective immediately. Between the two, Ms. Sanchez has seniority and so Ms. Vivi volunteered herself. With the extreme amount of change that has occurred this short year, another needless change is one that may bring down a school with a once strong reputation of excellence. Ms. Vivi and Ms. Sanchez have offered, among innumerable other things, comfort and consistency to our school - something that is not taken lightly during these uncertain times. This year alone, they navigated a transition from former admin to new admin during the pandemic with the responsibility to organize and distribute Chromebooks and texts to nearly 600 children.They are the faces and backbone of Burbank and we need them. The uproar made by the rest of the staff should be able to stand alone, but we know that we are not the only ones to be negatively affected by this choice. This petition is to restore Viviana Montes to her position as secretary while also maintaining Juanita Sanchez’s positions simultaneously. We are Burbank strong and we believe in our staff we need Ms. Vivi, we need Ms. Sanchez. Restore and retain Ms. Vivi and Ms. Sanchez.

It just isn’t possible. That is too much work for one person. I’m not saying this because I MIIGHT know how much work this is. I know from first hand experience as a secretary for MPS for 16 years.
Decisions made with no input from staff are a hallmark of bad administration. Restoring this cut and engaging whole community in decisions is how our school will prosper.
They are more then just secretaries to the students. To the students at times the nurse, friend, mom, and just someone listen. BURBANK STRONG!!!
Please respect the Burbank School community! Surely someone at central office can adjust finances farther away from students and families. Chop the top, not the people on the frontlines making sure our students and families have what they need.
The efforts of BOTH the office secretaries is what makes this school so strong. They know the families, community, and the system. They are a vital part of the success of students and the city of Milwaukee. During a time of uncertainty and so many losses, this one should not and cannot happen.
You guys can't take someone out when they are doing the best they can do. And letting them go just like that is not professional.
We need Ms.Vivi and Ms. Sanchez

The office is at least a two person operation, especially when the students return. The number of adex slips alone is too much for one person to handle not to mention the amount of disciplinary problems to handle.
