Some parents in the Penn-Trafford School District are upset about the news of a shift in principals at several schools in the district.Carly Bouch, a Trafford Elementary parent, has been asking for answers as to why the district is moving several administrators.”It’s not broken, so why are we fixing this?” she said.In April, parents were sent a letter from the school district describing the realignment and which schools and administrators would be impacted.According to Bouch, the shift uproots everything in the buildings and impacts the most vulnerable children, students in kindergarten through fifth grade.Her daughter, Lillie, who is going into fourth grade, plans to speak at a board meeting Monday night.”She said, ‘You know, Mom, this is just absolutely ridiculous,’ and she said it just like that,” Bouch said.Bouch said she and other parents are acting as a voice for the voiceless, saying that many staff members are upset but cannot speak up about it since it could jeopardize their jobs.”The main message that I receive from multiple people, teachers across the district, is just the word heartbroken. Essentially, you know, they’re losing their leader in their buildings,” she said.Jeremy Nutt, a Harrison Elementary parent, said he is not too concerned with a new principal coming in, but he is frustrated about how the district is handling the situation.”As far as I know, very few members of the faculty knew that it was coming and it came in in an AI-generated letter, which is so low effort. It kind of felt insulting to be delivered, this relatively big information, in such a low-effort way,” he said.Nutt said, “My biggest concerns are the way that this was this information was delivered to us, and also what I think it might mean for the organization moving forward. In my experience, organizations that have rapidly changing leadership tend to lose morale and quality, and adherence to requirements drops over time.”Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 reached out to Superintendent Matthew Harris for an interview on Monday, but he said he was unavailable, and instead sent us the letter.According to a letter from the Penn-Trafford School District, the following schools and administrators are impacted.
