In a decisive move, the Granite School District passed a resolution on Friday demanding the resignation of Natalie Cline, a member of the Utah State Board of Education. This resolution comes in response to Cline's recent social media post targeting a high school student athlete. The decision has garnered support from various Utah school district and city officials, who have joined forces in demanding accountability.
During the board meeting, community members and educators from neighboring school districts stood in solidarity with the Granite School District. They urged the board to hold Cline responsible for her actions, leading to the passing of the resolution. In a united effort, the resolution also called for other districts across Utah to join in demanding Cline's resignation.
Adding to the growing chorus of voices, the Ogden School District and Board of Education released a statement expressing their condemnation of anyone who would bully or target a student, particularly individuals in positions of power who are elected to protect children. They explicitly stated their support for the resolution and stood by the need for Cline's resignation.
Similarly, the Midvale City Council has also taken a stance alongside the Granite School Board's resolution. Members of the council emphasized the importance of maintaining public trust in educational institutions and creating an environment where every student feels valued and protected. They demanded Cline's immediate resignation from the Utah State Board of Education, considering it a necessary step towards achieving these objectives.
The mounting pressure for Natalie Cline to step down has now spread beyond the Granite School District, gaining support from the Ogden School District, Board of Education, and the Midvale City Council. As the call for accountability grows stronger, it remains to be seen how Natalie Cline and the Utah State Board of Education will respond to these demands.
