An anonymous PHS staff member asked us to clarify that vice principals are included in this petition and make sure that all of the PSD community can sign - not just parents and guardians.


New title: PSD Parents/GuardiansCommunity Against Forced Principal/Vice Principal Rotations

New petition description:

This petition was created by concerned Minter Creek PTA parents but is intended for the whole PSD community to express concern with the new policy to force principal and vice principal rotations on a regular basis.

We, the Peninsula School District community, are expressing our deep concern and disappointment regarding the recent change in school leadership, specifically the plan to regularly rotate principals without prior communication, transparency, or opportunity for parent involvement.

As engaged members of the PSD community, we believe that consistent leadership is vital to well-being, consistency, and academic growth at our schools. Effective principals are trusted, supportive, and effective leaders who build strong relationships with students, families, and staff. Relationships take time to build, and the plan to rotate leadership will significantly hinder our principals ability to lead well.

To make such a significant change without consulting or informing the parents undermines the collaborative spirit that a successful school community depends on. We feel blindsided and left without answers to questions that affect not only our children’s day-to-day experience but the long-term culture under the stewardship of this school district.

We respectfully request the following:

1. Removal of the plan to rotate leadershipprincipals and vice principals on a regular basis: We do not approve of the strategy to rotate leadership for the reasons given by PSD and do not believe this strategy is in the best interest of its students and should remain in place for our district. 2. Transparency: A clear explanation from the district about the reasons for this leadership change. 3. Parentchange. 3. Community involvement: A commitment to involving staff and parents in future decisions that directly impact our school’s leadership and climate.4. Open forum: An opportunity for parents to meet with district leaders in a town hall format to discuss this change, ask questions, and express concerns.

Our voices matter. Our school matters. We ask that the Peninsula School District public servants to work with us—not around us—to ensure decisions are made in the best interest of PSD schools.
