Saving KHS
The school in my hometown is really struggling.
Kansas Community School District #3
My school.
Starting with Mrs. Audrey Gough's Kindergarten class, CUSD #3 was my school all the way thru high school graduation day.
Times since then have been hard on the district.
A community that's not growing.
Leading to declining enrollment.
A mess in Springfield.
Leading to an overall lack of focus on education by our state government.
That said, a critical/pivotal point has been reached.
Will Kansas Schools continue in operation beyond the next couple years?
Take a look at what the School Board, teachers, and administrators are doing in a unified effort to save the school:
In the end, the decision must be based on 1 key thing: what's best for the kids?
That answer is more important than:
- what's best for the community?
- what's best for the staff?
- what about the history/heritage of the school?
- what about being labelled a failure for letting the school fail?
It's about the kids -- giving them what they need to succeed.
Out for now.....
