Dawson should keep job

I am writing this in response to the decision to remove Jim Dawson from Mt. View Elementary. I can’t begin to express my shock. Here is a gentleman that has been in our district for 23 years. He is an icon in this community for his leadership role with children. He not only welcomes all children he mentors them. When kids come to school with a problem they can count on Mr. D as they call him, to be there for them. I have been the parent, the volunteer and the employee. I can attest that Mr. Dawson not only addresses every problem but he also addresses every child by name.

Mr. Dawson is a leader, teacher, coach, mentor, and later in these children’s life a friend. Mt. View Elementary needs Mr. Dawson. I sincerely hope that the school board will reevaluate this decision. Please show your support by contacting your school board members.
