Maintain Tanya Harper as Supervisor of Special Needs, in Clayton School District

In our strongest voice, we, the undersigned residents of Clayton Borough, urge our Board of Education to keep Mrs. Tanya Harper in the position of Supervisor of Special Needs. Her work is making the difference in the learning outcomes of far too many students to remove her from this important position.

Why is this important?

This petition seeks to end Clayton School District's history of demoting and or dismissing key employees without just cause. In this case, as overwhelming testimony supports, Mrs. Harper is too important as Supervisor of Special Needs than to demote her to a role of chiefly enforcing discipline at Herma Simmons as Asst. Principal.
