This piece seems to about cover it all. Thanks for writing this Amanda.

I agree with RobF that we are likely not going to change their mind. They are going to close a lot of schools. 'You' might be able to save your own child's school, but it just means another school is going to be closed instead.

You had me at this:

All evidence presented during the ARC and since points to Parkview being an extremely successful school. The students, parents, and staff are highly engaged and passionate, qualities that are missing in other schools. Why change something that is working so well?

Instead of closing Parkview, it should have become a model school. Now, amid debates about where to place a new building these families are in limbo, unsure about what will happen.

I agree wholeheartedly.

I'd like to see everyone jump on board this doc to add their creative solutions to keeping our schools open. I think people are tired of begging the board. It's time to give them no alternative.

This is THE most important discussion happening in our city, across Canada, the US, and maybe the world as I haven't looked that far.

It seems to have The Big Move all over it ie. jamming our transit with more student riders.

It's time for "The Big Stay" movement.
