In the wake of persistent reports of student bullying and a mishandled teacher absence, the Boulder Elementary school board voted last week to allow Principal David Jamison’s contract to expire at the end of the school year.
Following a wave of Facebook comments questioning Jamison’s capabilities, the possible renewal of his contract emerged as a key agenda item at the March 10 board meeting. Superintendent David Selvig recommended renewal, according to MTN News, but the board, after hearing parents’ comments during a closed session, voted against it.
Several parents and guardians of Boulder Elementary students, some of whom chose to remain anonymous, detailed an array of interactions with Jamison, currently in his second year as principal, that left them frustrated, concerned and worried about their children’s education.
