We invited our school board members and administrators to a meeting tonight to hear what we have to say about their proposed school closures. 233 people came from the school community and the neighborhood, with presentations and open comment.
I think it went extremely well: the board members et al who came should now understand that we are not a building, but a community. It’s up to us to further their education and ensure they understand why closing a school like ours is not an option.
