Not sure what to include in an email?
1) Who you are and what connections you have to the county and the school system
2) Why you think closing BHES & combining it with CWES on current Coltrane property is not the best choice - especially since a county staff member said that BHES students will probably stay at Irvin where we are realigned even after the new downtown school is built.
3) Why you think the SOS proposal that keeps both BHES & CWES on their own property and adds much-needed pre-K seats to both is a much better investment - even though multiple county staff members have stated that they don’t think that smaller schools are a good investment, even though it means that each nurse, school, resource officer, librarian, and other teachers and staff has a smaller group of students to invest in.
Let’s fight together to stop the county staff from going in the wrong direction - just because big, new schools look good on a website does not mean it is the best thing for students!
