School board member Leah Euerle resigned Saturday morning following a tense board meeting and the death of a student.
PARMA, Ohio - School board member Leah Euerle resigned Saturday morning following a tense board meeting and the death of a student. Euerle wrote in a resignation letter that her decision to leave was motivated by “recent tragic events.
”“What should be a time of healing and support has instead brought harassment, threats, misinformation, and hostility,” Euerle wrote.
“The ongoing internal conflict amongst the board, combined with continuous misrepresentation of events, has made it increasingly difficult to continue in a constructive and sustainable way. ” Before joining the school board, Euerle served as both a teacher and building principal in the Parma City School District, according to the district.
“My hope is that we do not allow this tragedy to be used in ways that create further harm or division. This tragedy also reminds us that mental health must remain a priority, with strong support systems for students and families,” Euerle said.
