Date: 29 May 2020
From: Kennedy High School Staff, Students, Families, and Community Partners

The signed supporters of this petition demand that the WCCUSD School Board, Superintendent Duffy, and District Leadership take the following steps to address the inequity of process in leadership changes at Kennedy High School:
1. Convene a community forum where district leaders explain the process for administration transition, and
2. Listen to input from stakeholders at the community forum and adjust priorities and decisions based on input
3. Publicly recognize lack of judgement and harmful decisions in regards to inequitable lack of input from Kennedy stakeholders, in order to begin restoring trust between stakeholders and district leaders
Note: This petition will be shared with the WCCUSD School Board, Superintendent Duffy, and District leadership once students, family members, community members and a majority of staff members agree to sign.

- Convocar un foro para la comunidad donde los líderes del distrito escolar expliquen el proceso para las transiciones administrativas, y
- Escuchar las sugerencias de los interesados en el foro de la comunidad y ajustar las prioridades y decisiones basándose en las sugerencias
- Reconocer públicamente la falta de juicio y decisiones dañinas con relación a la desigualdad en la falta de contribuciones de las partes interesadas de Kennedy, para poder empezar a restaurar confianza entre partes interesadas y líderes del distrito escolar
