It has come to our attention that Mr. Suniaga- a health/phys ed teacher dismissed last year from the Marsh Creek 6th Grade Center due to inappropriate behavior toward young girls- has been hired as the new PE teacher at Beaver Creek Elementary.

We are shocked and outraged that he has been placed at Beaver Creek, and do not feel comfortable with him teaching our daughters or being a role model for our sons.

The details of the incidents at Marsh Creek 6th Grade Center were kept very hush hush. What we know for sure is that many students came forward reporting comments he made that should never have been made by a teacher. We know and have seen the letter that was sent home to all 6th grade center families. We also know that he was never allowed to return to Marsh Creek 6th Grade Center after being placed on administrative leave during the investigation.

We as parents, guardians, family members, or concerned citizens, reject this decision to hire Mr. Suniaga as a health/phys ed children for our young children at Beaver Creek Elementary. We are disgusted that putting him in our school would even be considered, let alone decided. Our kids deserve much better than this.

We are appealing to our principal, Dr. Lawless, our school board director Carl Croft, the DASD School Board including Board President Jane Bertone, Superintendent Emilie Lonardi, Vice President Carl Croft, and board members Lee Wisdom, Rebecca Britton, Ted Rauth, David Kring, Jason Benfield, Jaime Mehler, and Colleen Cranney, and requesting a new teacher with an excellent reputation be hired immediately. We don't want Mr. Suniaga at our school.

Thank you.
