Ms. Corwen, the Principal at Warner Avenue Elementary School, has put in for a transfer and officially delivered a statement to the parents and the PTO that she does not intend to return to Warner next year.

We the undersigned would like to petition the LAUSD to immediately "fly" the open Principal Position on the LAUSD website to allow Warner to immediately form a principal selection committee (comprised of teachers and parent representatives) and actively recruit a principal for Warner for the 2015-2016 school year.

The Principal we hope to recruit will be a collaborative leader with a strong vision for academic excellence who has a solid understanding of the Common Core State Standards, a passion for integrating the arts and technology into the curriculum, and a proven track record as a strong community builder among teachers, staff, and parents.
