Dr. Lauri Burton must be fired from her position at B.B. Harris Elementary. I have heard it is a terrible work environment and teachers are leaving in droves. One teacher who has been at the school for years resigned on the same day. We are hearing some of the best teachers in this school who originally decided to stay at BB Harris, are now interviewing in other counties and several people are preparing to resign unless something is done. Teachers are afraid to speak out against Dr. Burton for fear they will be fired and if the parents don't speak out about this, nothing will change. Our children's education and emotional well being may be affected. I have had 3 children attend BB Harris Elementary and I have lived through several principals. I do not see any positives from the current principal and I'm angry and disappointed Gwinnett County Schools for not listening to the needs of this community.
The children are the most affected because the school is losing so many teachers; some who I have heard have just resigned from Gwinnett County and others are expected to follow. This principal has been yelling at our children during lunch, publically embarrasing teachers and staff members and several parents have told me her thesis was about court cases involving removal of tenured teachers. Parents we must stand up against this invidual for the sake of your own child. My child's well being is the most important thing in my life and I intend to stand up against this mistake and fight for my children and my children's teachers. The children need a better role model and Lauri Burton has no right to come into our school and ruin the morale of the school with the children and the teachers.
If the Gwinnett County Board Members and the Gwinnett County Board of Education do not address this problem, I believe parents need to form together and we'll make certain something is done. We are the tax payers, we elect Board members, and we are the ones who have to fight for our children's well being.
Someone who asked to remain anonymous from another school said they believe there were 4 teachers at Dr. Burton's previous school who had grievances against her. Does this mean the county moved her from the previous school to get out from under the microscope?
FIRE DR. BURTON NOW!!!!!!!
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY FROM ALVIN WILBANKS TO ABIDE BY THEIR POLICIES!
PROTECT OUR CHILDREN! PROTECT OUR TEACHERS and STAFF!
SAVE BB HARRIS ELEMENTARY!
