Everyone - we need your help! Write support letters to the Board of Ed, County Council, and State and local policitians - email is good, but then also send it by fax or snail mail - don't want your great words to get "lost" in cyberspace. Encourage all area adults and kids to write - this affects us ALL, not just MES families. Personal stories are great, but remember to 1) challenge the proposed time line - way too short to consider a boundary change, which is what this is for PES, 60 days is unreasonable; 2)enrollment - MES is NOT under-enrolled! It is at 85% capacity, well within the desired level. What is it is small, not the same thing. If the boundaries are re-visited, or open enrollment offered it would alleviate over-crowding in Clarksburg and Germantown; and 3) alleged cost savings - Weast has a $1.49 billion plan, some for new schools so the so-called $1million saved by closing MES is like saving a dime on a $149 grocery bill
Write those Letters!
