ROCKY RIVER, Ohio — Rocky River parents and residents are pushing for four school officials to be removed. An online petition with more than 700 names as of Tuesday, names Superintendent Michael G. Shoaf, Assistant Superintendent Elizabeth Anderson, Executive Director of Human Resources Samuel Gifford, and Executive Director of Pupil Services Jennifer Norman – demanding they resign or be terminated.
The petition reads in part, “The administrators in question have demonstrated a pattern of unequal treatment and inconsistent enforcement of rules, creating a climate of favoritism and inequality within our district. This is evident in the disparate handling of recent scandals compared to past incidents. Such inconsistency not only undermines the integrity of the administration but also erodes community trust, ultimately compromising the educational environment for our students.
Ashley Rainey, a Rocky River parent of three, started the petition on October 5. As she explained, she “started the petition after talking with friends, fellow parents and other people in the community and hearing the same complaints and stories on repeat.” “We were disregarded, we were brushed off. We even elevated it to Superintendent Shoaf and were brushed off…it's caused some, some lasting anxiety and, and emotional problems for her,” Rainey said. “They've also failed to protect countless children from bullying and has gone as far as to report zero cases of bullying in our district year after year...on reports that are published online.”
