1000 people sign petition after Lemont High School security officer fired
LEMONT, IL December 1 2018
Over 1,000 people have signed a petition to protest the firing of a LHS security guard. Sharon Karpiak, who has worked at the school for 12 years, was fired at the Nov. 19 Board of Education Meeting.
According to the Change.org petition, supporters say “removing her from the position would not be in the student’s best interest.”
“Sharon is a key part of Lemont High School’s staff that has kept us safe. She genuinely cares about every student and their wellbeing while still remaining professional which is a vital part of LHS’ staff,” the petition states.
The school would not comment on the reason for termination only saying that it was a personnel matter.
