We, the parents of Sunlake Academy of Math and Science (SAMS), are asking Charter Schools Associates (CSA) to reconsider the acceptance of Principal Marisa Martinez’s resignation. In doing so, we also ask CSA to fully support Principal Martinez in her decisions and efforts to make SAMS the great school we all hope it will become under her exceptional direction.

We, the undersigned, wholeheartedly support Principal Martinez at the helm for the 2019-2020 school year. It would bring a tremendous amount of stability to our children and our school community – something we are needing desperately. We also believe the fall out and stigma associated with a third year/third principal tag would take year of recovery, something many families aren’t willing to wait out.

Please reevaluate the resignation of Principal Marisa Martinez. She has been a fantastic asset to the SAMS community and we feel given the support from CSA, and with this first year foundation, this next year will be fantastic. Thank you.
