created that toxic environment. these members say it's no coincidence that since november more than a dozen administrators and teachers have left the district including five principals, a superintendent and two assistant superintendents. so last night they presented the board with a petition asking four members to resign, including president christine koltermann, ina bendis, and chris stampolis. >> he's hurt the education system in our district and it's not okay. >> stampolis acknowledges the fact that more than a dozen administrators have left. he said, quote, that's a great thing. at least one teacher doesn't have a problem with the change. >> i've seen a lot of turmoil from people who don't like things shooken up. >> parents say they're not giving up. now there's talk of a recall to make that happen. parents need signatures from 20% of registered voters within the district. i checked out the board's website today. no mention of any outcome from last night's meeting just yet.
