CENTENNIAL, Colo. — They may be just words on paper, but a group of students parents and staff from Arapahoe High School said their survey of nearly 1,200 community members shows a growing concern over what's going on inside the school.
"We are releasing a report from the Arapahoe High School Community Coalition," said Jessica Peck, coalition attorney. "I think that this report shows today is really, there's been a vote of no confidence."
The survey shows that 57 percent of respondents indicate they are concerned about school culture. It also shows that 73 percent of those who responded are concerned about the current administration, including Principal Natalie Pramenko.
"The majority of them said, 'We want her out,'" Peck said.
Since the shooting death of Claire Davis in 2013 inside Arapahoe High School, there have been eight suicides within the Arapahoe community. Claire was shot in the head Dec. 13, 2013 and died in a hospital several days later.
This school year, two teachers have been arrested and accused of sexually assaulting students
"The coalition, while there are many diverse perspectives within it, has all come to a conclusion that there really is no trust," Peck said.
Senior Kevin Lukasiewicz disagrees.
"Yeah, they are serious things, and I just think Arapahoe has had an unfortunate turn of six, seven years," Lukasiewicz said.
He added that Arapahoe has a supportive culture.
"It is frustrating, and I think that kids can tell you themselves the majority of the population in there will say good things about Arapahoe," Lukasiewicz said.
The senior football player said Principal Pramenko loves her job.
"I think she is so awesome. She does everything just out of love and kindness for us," Lukasiewicz said.
Lukasiewicz said he questions the validity of the survey.
"I think the questions were kind of misleading and kind of trapped students into saying what they wanted them to say," Lukasiewicz said.
Peck said the surveys were not "push poll[s]," a term used to describe surveys that have an objective of swaying voters using loaded or manipulative questions.
Our survey is without a doubt valid in terms of collecting poll data," Peck said. "We did not manipulate for even a second the responses from each of these 1,100 people. So, if people want to attack it, they should first read it."
