Request For Extension of Lori Martin's Contract Period

The concern is you're attempting to move Ms. Martin to another school. We understand that it seems that Ms.Martin does not follow or stay aligned with administration's agenda but we can assure you that Ms.Martin's agenda is in the best interest of the student body, here at Edgewater High School. She has put forth tremendous amounts of effort for the entire school year. Especially since her only clerk was relocated to guidance, so she had rely on her student tech assistants and other students to help maintain our Media Center. And she has to do extra work, that is not directly apart of her duties and responsibilities.  Ms.Martin is only responsible for maintaining and managing the media center, textbook manager,  digital librarian lead, circulation of the laptops, verifying that the fine or charge was made and that it was rectified but she goes far beyond. It was also brought to our attention that the Administration believed that the Media Center was not a viable learning space and that it's only purpose was to serve as a hideout for skippers throughout the school day. Yet, on the contrary, Ms.Martin has called security numerous times to catch skippers and has cracked down on keeping a tight census of any and everyone that has visited, used , or stayed in the library for any purpose during the school year. Martin strongly believes in helping anyone who wants help and she's constantly assisting many students with projects, papers, and class assignments. If anyone doesn't use the Media space for it's intended purpose, she very nicely asks the individual to leave or participate in any structured activity. And Last but not least, Ms.Martin is one the school's main source for peer counselling, even though we have a SAFE coordinator, a number of people see Ms.Martin as safe person to talk too and a great leader for inspiration and advice. Ms. Martin has been an integral part of Edgewater High School to all, students and staff for the past nine years. Taking her away would be like taking away the invigorating and energetic spirit.
