NO on OVSD School Closures
Dear OVSD Community,
At previous board meetings beginning in January 2023, I made an official statement that I am not in agreement with pursuing school closures. However, a board majority identified consolidation as a priority focus area via consensus to move the process forward. I was in dissent.
At the January and February meetings as well as online, I have gone on record as being opposed to school consolidation. I understand that the process has caused some in the community to have concerns, and I concur.
I will continue to advocate strongly for safeguarding children and schools and look for alternatives to school closures.
What I’ve written herein are my own thoughts, and do not represent those of the board as a whole.
I was present last night for Circle View’s meeting and will be in attendance for tonight’s meeting at Village View. I look forward to hearing parent and stakeholder input.
Sincerely,
Vice President Clayton-Tarvin
