What We Are Asking For
Before any vote, we are asking the district to publish four things in writing.
We recognize the district is planning for the future. We want evidence that the proposed pace and scale are financially necessary and workable for students, not just that consolidation can save money.
Student assignments and logistics
Clear proposed student assignments, class sizes, and transportation impacts for every affected family.
Protections for support needs
Concrete protections for students with disabilities and other support needs, written down and committed to.
A comparison of alternatives
A documented financial comparison of alternatives that keep Heritage open.
