were rescinded because they got word of them and they were rescinded, and we have one that happens to be our deaf and hard of hearing teacher. and it has torn our asl community apart and it has been difficult for our school and we have a petition that were 200 signatures from family and 30 staff of the talking about this teacher and how the non-reelect should be rescinded and also, our library teacher is going to be removed because he is not bi lingual but yet we don't have a bi lingual vice principal and i am a computer teacher and i am not bi lingual. my position was reduced to 80 percent, even though we are ordering 100,000 worth of new laptops and ipads and i don't know why that would happen. but there has been so little transparency and like we said, we had multiple staff meetings

about relational trust and we have taken it to the administrator's boss and it was sent back to hr and to our administrator and so we asked for your help in oversight of our amazing community at (inaudible) school. thank you. >> and here are copies of the (inaudible). >> i am one of the educators and i am speaking on behalf of the deaf and hard of hearing community and because one of our teachers has been and she has resigned under dirres and our students are special in a different way our students thrive best when they have consistent sit and a relationship with their teacher

especially when they can't communicate at home. and their only source of communication tends to be at school. our school is the only elementary school, and the only magnet school for the deaf. although they come to our school and we have teach theirs stay with our students, we have one teacher that stayed with them from prekto fifth grade and so the relationship is really important, i think that it is crucial because i grew up with deaf and hard of hearing community and i know that it is very important for our consistentcy in our school. and we have asked several times that that be considered. we have been told by the assistant superintendent that is up to our administration and only she can revoke that decision. so we are really asking for that to be considered. it is very hard for our students since their circle of communication is limited and we are not a hearing school. thank you.
