As you, the students of Springstead High School, know, we have received a new principal this year and that principal wants to install changes in SHS policies including:
-Enforcing a more strict dress code than the one we currently have
-Prohibiting any outside food and drink being brought on campus
-Giving twenty four minutes for lunch in the cafeteria, then sending students to an assigned study hall classroom for the rest of the period
-Banning all forms of physical contact between students
-Removal of clubs including PFLAG
There are other rumored changes that the new principal has been said to want to install including:
-Removal of Eagle Games
-Removal of Homecoming
-Removal of Prom
-Uniform policy next semester and/or next year
-Removal of the option to have a reduced schedule
If you believe that these changes, whether rumored or not, should NOT be installed and if they have already been installed, should be changed, then sign this petition.

The administration has declined to comment on our grievances thus far. I am currently preparing a formal letter that outlines our concerns regarding the proposed extracurricular and policy changes to be delivered directly to the school board office.

The momentum behind this initiative indicates a clear consensus regarding the direction of our school policies. Your dedication to preserving the current culture at Springstead High School is evident through this collective response. We are now preparing to present these concerns to the administration.

What Mr. Rufa needs to know is that we're all on our way to becoming adults—we can't become adults with all these childish rules. No one even crosses the ''dress code" line. Everyone is in tact. Not having the permission to have drinks on campus is like telling us students to come to school unprepared. Mr. Rufa, you're a disgrace to the hernando county board.

I'm about 200% sure this is not you. Considering the fact that you cursed at a kid. Very professional. Write all of us up for this petition. Good luck writing up 184 people.

I am moving to this district and have family attending this year. If high school is suppose to prepare students for real world then follow work guidelines. With that lunch at work is typically a half hour to an hour so I can somewhat understand his thinking also he is guaranteeing students 30 min to study. As for the rest of his ideas um no thank you dress codes can be enforced without uniforms, clubs and extra activities gives good resume points and social interaction.
