This Wednesday will be an important, potentially defining meeting in regards to school consolidation. If you can come to only one, perhaps this one should be it. I encourage you to present to the board some qualitative data to go with their quantitative data. In other words, tell some good stories:
1. Did you or a child you know experience the elementary schools in the late 1990's early 2000's when enrollment was much higher? What problems existed that we might not be aware of now? How was it different? If you have a story, please tell it.
2. Do you have a child with special needs? How would a more crowded school and how would larger classrooms impact him or her. If you have a story please tell it.
If you prefer to not tell your story in public or can't come on Wednesday, e-mail you story to me and I will happily tell it for you (anonymously or not as you wish).
