Meeting regarding former principal scheduled for 4:30 p.m. tonight, June 4
By Amanda Huffman
San Clemente High School’s Class of 2015 recently petitioned in support of Principal Michael Halt, in hopes of having Capistrano Unified School District reinstating him, particularly so he could be the official to shake their hands during the graduation ceremony.
Students have showed their support for Halt in a number of ways, the release stated, including painting their car windows and wearing “I Like Mike” T-shirts and buttons.
Most recently, students created a petition to pass around to their fellow seniors. For three days, seniors collected about 350 signatures for their petition.
The list of signatures was sent to the SC Times on the morning of Monday, June 1 morning via email.
In the event that Halt is not allowed to attend graduation, parents of the seniors have sent a letter to The Pentagon asking Marine Corps Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, Jr. to take his place at the ceremony because he “possesses the same leadership qualities that Mike Halt possesses: honor, integrity, discipline, and remarkable character,” the letter stated.
CUSD Board of Trustees will meet 4:30 p.m. Thursday in closed session to discuss Halt’s position with the district, and an open session is scheduled to follow.
