It is the 7th-day since this Petition was posted. Still no more information from SAA or the Chesapeake Conference. Judie Rosa is now 14 days missing in action.
To the SAA Board & Administration: It no longer matters how many more sign, the point has already been made resoundingly by 134 SAA parents, grandparents, students, and alumni. You're watching this Petition, as has the Chesapeake Conference of SDA. So are SAA's elementary teachers, although everyone understands they do not feel free to speak because of the culture of silence you have fostered, and fear for their jobs. Judie Rosa was not part of that culture, which is why she could not save herself from it.
As one petitioner commented: This school's witness to the community about the character of God is on the line. Yes it is, right here and right now - and God is watching. Forcing Judie Rosa out the very next day after her goodbye message is an abuse of power which profanes His name, brings shame to SAA, and causes harm to our children's education. Yet there still is time to do the right thing.
So will you heed our voices, put our children's best interests above punishing Judie Rosa, and let her return to finish this school year? And agree to a Town Hall style meeting to finally offer some transparency to the SAA community? Or will you act like this Petition never existed because our voices simply do not matter to you? Your petitioners are watching, along with many other spectators too. They will remember your answers to these questions, or your silence, when they cast their ultimate vote - the enrollment decision for their children.
