Superintendent Baumann,

Thank you for what you do for our schools, our kids, and our community! We appreciate it.

This is a petition in support of Coach Tyler Krebs.

As parents, peers, co-workers, and students, we know Tyler Krebs as a person of character, leadership, and quality. His track record of educating kids in the classroom, and on the field, is a proven track record of success. He cares about others around him and he is willing to put others before himself. These are characteristics that we look for in our teachers, coaches, and community leaders. We know when we have a good one, and we do.

We cannot lose a leader of his unique ability especially in the classroom or on the field over a lapse of judgement. We have always believed mistakes are part of the learning process for everyone. We would anticipate that he will be an even better teacher and coach from this experience. His track record as an educator deserves a second chance. Tyler Krebs is a true asset to Lakeville South in the classroom, and part of the program he is helping to build.

Please consider our voices as you proceed with the investigation and form your conclusions. If the conclusion is one lapse of judgement after a long history of very positive educational results in the classroom and building wonderful programs for the kids in the community, we feel Tyler Krebs deserves another chance.

Thank you!
