Sandy Balfour is an outstanding educator, and an honorable woman. Her dedication and commitment to her students personal growth and education continually results in a long-lasting friendship. She believes in discipline and respect, which is completely necessary for future success. Her methods have nothing but the students well being in mind. As a former student of hers, I stand behind and support her completely.

Miss Balfour is one of the best teachers I've ever had in my entire life. She pushed me, made me feel like a jackass sometimes but by the end of class I knew exactly what she was talking about. Shes helped me years after graduating and I appreciate everything she's taught me so much in my adult life. She's a wonderful teacher. If somebody feels bullied by her is because of her dominant teaching effort. Miss Balfour needs to have her rights back. She is a wonderful woman. Actually a female role model. Tell her this tell everyone, she is.

My son Phil was blessed to have Sandy Balfour for his English Honors I, II, Creative Writing and Speech. Mrs. Balfour not only taught the curriculum, but taught life skills needed beyond the classroom. She expects respect amongst teachers and students, guidelines and rules to be followed, everyone to be treated equally with NO favoritism and strives for the best education for her students and wants her students to be the best that they can be both inside and outside of the classroom. We NEED strong teachers AND administrators, like Mrs. Balfour, to make a positive impact on students and to meet Florida State Standards. Without strong teachers AND administrators, without strong support from District to support the teachers and administrators, you've opened the door where you take the rightful power to teachers/administrators away and give "that" power to the student. I hope through this petition and other comments that this incident will be put behind us and Mrs. Balfour can continue to make a difference in the lives of our students, which is what matters.

Mrs. Balfour was one of the best, most influential teachers in my life. When Mr. Stofcheck stepped down from his original position as AES's coordinator/principal, I could think of no one better and more caring than Mrs. Balfour to take his place. Please don't let the errant tales of a single angry teenager and misquotes from her fellow teachers damage the potential of every other student currently attending AES.

Apparently the parents of that kid that passed other cars with a solid double yellow line on Ft. Island trail do not love that child.
They should Thank that teacher for saying something to the kid. They had better hope karma doesn't bite them with that kids future driving.

Maybe she should run for Superintendent again? She made a very good showing last time and I think people are ready for a change from our current administrator.

I have known Sandy Balfour for over 20 years, I know her to be an outstanding teacher who considers her students her number one priority. Not only does Sandy teach the school's curriculum, she teaches life skills and responsibility that reach far beyond the classroom. The Citrus County School system needs Sandy (and other great educators like her) in the classroom creating bright futures for our children.
