Thank You & Important Update
Thank you for standing with us as we advocate for the health and future of our district. We want to keep you informed every step of the way. We are actively collaborating with representatives from most PSD schools to find constructive ways to address our shared concerns. You can expect another update in the coming days with next steps and future plans.
Last Friday, the four of us who spoke at the recent school board meeting met with the following district administrators:
Krestin Bahr, Superintendent
Michael Farmer, Chief of Schools
Julie Shultz-Bartlett, Deputy Chief of Schools
Jennifer Butler, District 2 School Board Member
Natalie Wimberly, School Board President
Also in attendance were:
Jessica Gamble, Minter Creek PTA President
Jennifer Murphey, Minter Creek PTA Vice President
Heather Bruhn, Minter Creek PTA Secretary
Traci Drebin, Minter Creek PTA Volunteer Coordinator
Following that conversation, we felt it was crucial to share our feedback letter publicly. We encourage you to take a few minutes to read it. The letter outlines the key points we discussed and the pressing questions we’ve asked the district to address.

Please Read & Share: Petition and Letter
This districtwide petition remains one of the most effective tools we have to engage the broader community. We’ve recently updated its language to reflect growing concerns about:
Principal and teacher rotations
The staff expression policy, which is currently suppressing open communication from PSD staff
The increasing erosion of community trust in district leadership
The petition can be signed anonymously, and we encourage you to share it, along with the feedback letter, with friends, neighbors, and other members of the community. Our goal is to get people talking and thinking critically about the future of our schools.
Thank you for your continued support.
Jessica Gamble
