Pioneer: continued from page A-1 The Pioneer Education Association submitted the letter of no confidence to the Pioneer school board at its Dec. 14 meeting. In the letter, the group stated that if Diehl does not resign, the board should ask her to do so. “We all believe these problems di- rectly stem from an inability or un- willingness of the superintendent to provide effective, competent, com- passionate and trustworthy leader- ship for the district,” the letter states. “These problems have had a corro- sive effect on staff morale and fos— tered a climate of fear, anxiety and uncertainty.” Diehl has been the superintendent for a year and a half after replacing John Gummel. ‘ The introduction to the letter states, “Efforts to bring these issue to the attention of the board have been routinely met with resistance or been undermined through information suppression, covert intimidation and parliamentary maneuvering.” In the letter, the Pipneer Education Association writes that Diehl “has created an increasingly toxic, fearful and hostile work environment.” Staff members said they have ex- perienced, and/or know someone, who has experienced Diehl being “bully— ing, intimidating and demeaning” in interactions with staff’and communi— ty members; disrespecting staff mem- bers who are trying to solve problems; denying requests for due process rep- resentation during one-on-one ses- sions with Diehl; and asking the school nurse to “subvert protocols” re— garding COVID.
