Welcome to Elmvale
The Elmvale community campus is public policy for the public. It's public
policy that makes sense.
We have a school that's a little smaller than some people at the Board of
Education think is optimum. It's library is too small. The gym is a little
small too. Students joke that if visiting basketball players get in the
open, they'll keep running right into our gym wall. Like many schools,
there are portables on the property, a small cafeteria and crowded halls.
But wait. Elmvale is a special community. It has a library that's great.
It might even be a little big for community needs. My thought is to combine
the two and make that library part of a community campus that students can
walk to.
We can also harness the other resources and businesses that are within a
short walk of our high school. Good planning can save this school from
closure and ensure that 550 students stay in Elmvale.
That's 550 students who buy lunch in Elmvale, coffee before and after school
and are our link to the future. If you put those students on a bus for an
hour each morning and evening, there will be no sports, no after school
programs and no community spirit.
I've dedicated myself to fighting to save Elmvale District High School and I
need your help
