School Parent Letter: Fill & Download for Free

Many years ago, I was a school parent governor.I was accused, by the school Head of something.She wrote the accusations in a letter to the Chair, with a request that I be reported to the authorities.An external consultant was brought in to investigate.The outcome was:a written apology to me by the Head, admitting that she’d made it all up because she was cross about a policy I’d supporteda begging request from the chair of the governors for me not to sue for libel because they were concerned that, based on what their investigator had found, I would win and the settlement the investigator thought likely would bankrupt them.It turns out that I was the third governor the head had treated so badly they had resigned.

“Snap”Peter Parker had it bad. Picked on at school. Parents? Gone. His uncle? Dead, because Peter didn’t stop a robber.

Peter caught her with his webbing. As he had caught countless others.“Snap”But this time the sudden stop snapped her neck.

Not so much an argument as a complaint because I caught them in a scam.Three years ago, the Chicago Teachers’ Union was re-negotiating their contract with the city, and things weren’t going well. My daughter went to a Chicago public high school at the time.Her school, like many public high schools, did not send report cards home to parents. Parents had to come in and pick up the report cards. Students would get the day off of school that day, and any time between 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. parents could come to the school and get their child’s report card and meet with any of their child’s teachers, all of whom had a designated spot in the cafeteria.Upon walking into the school, parents were greeted by two teachers who had a sign-in sheet. I was told I had to sign in before I proceeded to the cafeteria, where the report cards and teachers were.I looked at the top of the sign-in sheet, and it wasn’t a sign-in sheet at all. It was a petition to show support for the Teachers’ Union and demand more money for teachers from the city. I refused to sign it, and walked past the teachers and into the cafeteria. They seemed shocked.I should mention that I’m not opposed to the Teachers’ Union per se. I am opposed to them tricking all of the parents into signing a petition of support. I’m a teacher in Chicago too, but not in a union. And I’m also a Chicago taxpayer. My property taxes were raised 66% a few years prior to this, to cover shortfalls in teachers’ pensions. Over-promising politicians in the past created problems in the present that I have to pay for, and I don’t appreciate it.Anyway, I wrote a well-worded letter to the school about how shady that tactic was. They just want to have “proof” that the majority of parents support the teachers. All they really have is proof that not everyone reads what they sign when they’re told to sign something.The next time I went to get her report card, the Teachers’ Union people were still there with a petition of support, but they were off to the side and weren’t telling people they had to sign the petition before proceeding.
