Our petition to retain Principal Lynn Jenkins at FCHS generated more than 300 signatures. We presented those signatures at tonight's Board of Ed meeting.
We gave many examples of Principal Jenkins's success in her short time at Flint Central, such as establishing an afterschool reading and math program, reinstating the PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association), decreasing the number of violent incidents on campus, and bridging gaps between the school and the community.
We will keep you informed of the BoE's decision in the following days, but we consider our efforts a success and Mrs. Jenkins has expressed her gratitude and appreciation for all who gave their support.
Much thanks for your partnership!

Principal Lynn Jenkins has brought a fresh perspective, a passion for education, and a commitment to high standards at Flint Central. Her hard work has impressed many students, teachers, parents, alumni and community supporters.
Principal Jenkins has led the installment of new academic enrichment opportunities and she has collaborated with supporters who raised thousands of dollars to continue existing programs such as the Model United Nations and the Madrigals.
As people who care about the future of our students, as well as about continuing Flint Central’s tradition as one of the region’s educational gems, it is clear that we need Principal Jenkins at Flint Central when the doors open next school year.

Principal Jenkins has been a vital force for positive change by working cooperatively with parents and community supporters to make Flint Central a strong and high performing school again.
At a time when there are many pressing needs in the school system, Principal Jenkins is already in the right place to serve our students, teachers and community with distinction. We urge you to retain Principal Jenkins at Flint Central.
