Well, thats one of the smart things to come out of downtown from the School Board. Its a ignorant idea in the first place to close the school there. It would be one more loss of the towns identity. Also, I think its too far to bus those small children to Molino Park because thats the only place they can put them if those close it. There would be no way most parents or any volunteers could participate because most don’t have realiable transortation if any at all. Hey its what they would call in the city a poor innercity school and since Century is a town I guess they would qualify. My hope is that the school will continue to improve upon itself and have the staff who really wants to be there because it is a hard task to take on and not get worn out with all the extra effort that is required.

What should take place is what was agreed upon 10 tears ago, close Earnest Ward, and redraw lines for Century and Molino to handle these students as originally designed, both schools have more than enough room to handle the kids from these areas, Mr. Thomas please research this info, you will find that the answers to this issue have already been addressed and should be followed thru.

I’m glad Thomas has been elected. He has the best interest in mind for each child in the county. Location is not the issue…it is education, and education at its best! If schools close it will be the best for the students and if they stay open it will be best for the students. I am also glad that he is taking a step back, evaluating the situation and then making the best decisions for these children/schools. Obvisouly I supposrt Thomas:) Congrats Malcolm! I am looking forward to you implementing your plans for our school district.
