To the school board and administration, we hope you will consider additional administrative support at Mt. View until the situation is restored to normal. "The problems which have recently surfaced, if not promptly corrected, will be difficult to overcome next week, next month and even next year. We feel strongly that our children's education has already suffered greatly and urge the parents, teachers and school board to act to salvage some semblance of order for benefit of all the students. "Let me close, by sharing a concern which we did not have in the beginning but which has grown during the past 11 weeks. We happen to be a group of six very perseverant people who would not be distracted once we determined the facts and who sought support from other parents. It is indeed well that we shared that trait since we have been lied to and intimidated. It has made us wonder what would have happened to only a few parents who came before the board with a problem. Hopefully, the board will reconfirm the right of all parents to approach the board openly and freely and that the board represents teachers and parents as well as administrators.
