O'Brien Needs To Resign

To:  Veronica O'Brien

We respectfully request that you resign your position as President of the St. Louis School Board effective immediately. The reasons are numerous but here are a few:

• During your tenure as President you have removed one Superintendent and attempted to remove a second.

• You have refused to sign contracts, forcing the board to permit the Secretary to do so in order to keep the district running.

• You are on record as seeking a state takeover of the schools, calling into question your willingness to work with Superintendent Bourisaw on initiatives to regain accreditation.

• You have become an increasingly divisive force on the board rather than a leader bringing about consensus.

• Your presence as President of the Board has made matters worse, not better.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
