Don’t our three elementary schools serve the needs of all our students just fine as they are?

Watch Eric Tracy answer the question HERE, begins at the 20:41 minute-mark.

Our educators do excellent work, but outdated buildings limit what’s possible. Many learning spaces are too small or missing altogether—intervention rooms, breakout areas, and safe, modern environments are essential. Where students learn affects how they learn, and where teachers teach impacts retention. Schools built in the 1950s weren’t designed for today’s specialized programs like CASL, Intensive Learning Program, Therapeutic Learning Center, PT, OT, and Language-Based instruction. These programs now operate in inadequate spaces. Our buildings no longer meet today's students' and staff's academic, social-emotional, and support needs.
