I am writing regarding the ongoing threat to remove kids from certain schools due to class size. No, I did not use wrong terminology, that's exactly how I see it, as a threat!

My family and I purchased our home specifically for the Herman Avenue and East opportunity. To have this possibly gone for one of our two kids would be wrong.

OK, I understand the need, but to say this is how, who, why, and when is unfair without having a voice from students and parents.

I empathize with the decisions the board and Mr. Pabis must make over this matter and only ask that they all ask and we all consider those students that may wish to move or those that may benefit from a specific need to move. I appreciate the Herman Avenue staff and families and truly feel that a move to another school will only hurt what we have been able to accomplish.

Not just “we” as in my family and I, but we as a district and community.
