By signing this petition, I have concerns, which include but are not limited to, Sacred Heart School's transparency regarding operational budgets, the current and future financial stability of the school, and the school's ability to maintain and plan for the rapidly changing academic environment.

I am a product of SHS. I believe the values brought to me then and my child now are critical to making our community all it can be. I am saddened that this has escalated to this point. I believe that SHS is stronger with more knowledgeable parents, so that we can be a part of the solution. SHS has grown; its management must as well. I hope mediation is possible.
I am a little puzzled as to why parents of athletes are " taxed" $125 for participation in athletics and those funds are not utilized for athletic programs. It's discriminatory, unless students that don't participate in athletics are " taxed" a non- participation in athletics fee. If this fee is not utilized for athletic expenses it amounts to misleading people on the utilization of that fee. I definitely think money brought in by athletics should stay with athletics. Athletics is a tremendous vehicle to bringing recognition to a school. We have a great group of Godly men and women leading our students in our athletic programs, I pray the Administration doesn't ever take them for granted.
As many have said...I want the best for my child. I truly love Sacred Heart School but we have to make it our mission to keep up with the changing times of academics and technology so that our children do not fall behind. With the concerns of it being a budgeting issue, I would like to explore deeper into how the fundraising monies are being allocated.
To have an entire Booster club resign should be a huge red flag. This group of people have taken this task on as volunteers and have raised more money in half a year than has ever been raised in this amount of time. The athletic budget should be made public for the parents to see where their money is being used. The same should be held true for the school operations budget.
I love Sacred Heart and want to continue to see it grow. I am concerned that there may be some ongoing budget issues that are being covered with funds from the pto and booster club funds. If there are some budget concerns I would like to know what they are so they can be addressed in the operating budget.
After reading the petition and all of the comments, I still do not know what are the specific allegations. I work at a public institution and am not privy to budgetary matters. The auditors are responsible for determining impropriety. Sacred Heart has financial auditors and I'm willing to let them do their jobs. As I am not a principal and have no training in that, I am willing to let the Sacred Heart principals do their jobs. As I am not a teacher and have no training in that, I am willing to let the Sacred Heart teachers do their jobs, same for coaches and custodians. In order to do my own job, I need to trust the team. I know that, sometimes, it can be hard to trust the team, play our own positions, mind our own business. But in the absence of a specific and founded problem within the administration, this petition, all of the meetings and all of the gossip seem destructive in their nature and not in any way the Sacred Heart Way. So as for me and mine, we won't be a part of this.

As an ex-parent of SHHS, I have seen this school grow, to what it is today. These questions have been asked before and been ignored by the administration. Glad to see everyone standing together to get some answers. There needs to be accountability to where the money goes, and not just to the general fund.
