Dear Mr. Strickland,
Chapel Hill Christian School parents sign a written agreement to conduct themselves in
accordance with expressed guidelines of conduct. These policies include, but are not
limited to, behavior that relates to the physical safety of our students.
The written agreement we have established with our parents, like the agreements
entered into by all others associated with our school, are meant to reflect a common
commitment to the cause of Christ, foster the “Spirit of unity through the bond of
peace,” and continue to extend the redemptive work of Christ in individual lives and
the corporate life of God's School. ‘The unfortunate reality of a relationship of this
nature is that individuals occasionally decide to act in a manner inconsistent with this
written agreement and, as a consequence, separate themselves from the community.
Recently this did occur with one of our families. Unfortunately, portions of an audio
recording were presented, which expressed only a small portion of the
administration's and Board of Education's concerns. While we believe it would be
wrong to make public the particular circumstances that led to this separation, out of
concern for the privacy of the family, we also felt that dismissal was necessary in order
to protect the safety of our school children and their families. ‘The physical,
emotional, and spiritual safety of our students is always a top priority.
Chapel Hill Christian School has served God for 53 years in Summit County by
distinguishing itself through high academic standards and a passionate love for God
and its families. Our goal is to continue to operate with this same integrity far into the
future.
Since!
ly,
Jeff Sumner
