Save Our Sherman Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/save-our-sherman.html Online petition signatures en-us Sun, 12 Apr 2026 12:27 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mr. Ben Golden [Signature #163] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/17314537?utm_medium=rss This has happened before. When he was a principal in Spirit Lake, IA the students went on strike for a day to try to get him reinstated. He is a dedicated educator and an outside-the-box thinker, and his style doesn't sit well with those who don't understand education and can't see the bigger picture. We lost his incredible leadership in Spirit Lake, and Red Oak will never find another principal this smart or dedicated. Forcing his resignation just makes a good man have to uproot his family and is a lose-lose situation for the students in Red Oak.

Our school board is filled with highly educated, respected professionals who are highly invested in our community and our children. If the 5 reasons they have listed as grounds for termination are true, then him being "a nice guy" and well-liked by the students is moot. Has anyone noticed we haven't heard from teachers or other administrators? I think it's safe to assume we haven't heard their opinions because of fear of retaliation. If he retains his job and teachers have voiced that he is difficult to work with/for, what would next year be like for them? I think their silence speaks volumes and is louder than the #saveoursherman voices we do hear.

If they couldn't answer the question as to why Mr. Sherman is being let go before, what makes you think they would answer it out in a public forum like this? please understand that this cannot be done. I feel sorry for all the students and community members who are so mislead. This is Spirit Lake all over again. This whole ordeal is making a mockery of our town and community. Let the school board do their job. I think it's appalling how Mr. Sherman is hiding behind the student's actions. Letting students get out of class for a sit in and putting this before their education and using the intercom from what I understand, to say it's ok to get out of class. yes, an announcement was made during classes that students could get out of class to go to the sit in. - EMBARRASSING FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

This is the main reason for letting him go. He may be the most likeable person in the world, but if you can't get a long with co-workers there isn't much place for you. This is the problem from the first 2 and now it's happening in the 3rd. We didn't care for him here and we didn't look at his history so maybe people will start learning from others mistakes!

He cares for the school and the needs and concerns of the youth he is in charge of. He maintains a high standard of integrity and moral character. Mr. Sherman is a kind and caring man. He is a phenomenal role model to our youth and it will be a tragedy if those behind his removal are successful. S O S

I simply cannot deny our highly educated and respected board would make a 5-0 decision if it were not warranted and documented. I also would take the advice of an attorney over a principal regarding any legal manner. Again, I highly doubt the school board would voluntarily do something all Mr. Sherman's supporters are calling illegal. If you search Mr. Sherman online, you will find a very scary similaritly between his former district ( Spirit Lake) and Red Oak. Either he is as advertised and not an effective school principal OR extremely unlucky and landed 2 consecutive jobs with poor/unethical school boards and superintendents. I ask everyone on this petition to wait before they judge the school board or the superintendent. One community has already been torn apart because of Mr. Sherman's allegations and I hope the community of Red Oak does not let this divide them too. - Mr. Common Sense

He is not political, manipulative or has an agenda. He follows the laws, which sometimes ties his hands, but he is honest and truly puts the kids first. Without public accusations, open meetings and proof of willful wrong doing, the termination has no merit.

I was home schooled and went to public school for some classes. Mr. Sherman never made me feel like an outsider, always cheered me on at chior compititions, always took the time to talk to me of he saw me out side of school like at Fareway where I worked. He also made sure I was able to walk across the stage with my class at graduation to receive a certificate of attendance. If the school board decides to let Mr. Sherman go, they will be losing a man who loves his job and his students. He, unlike some principals, cares about his students, and wants to see them succeed. I've never met a principal who always stands in his students cornors cheering them on. It would be idiotic of the school board to let this amazing educator/principle go.
