So, I have taken the steps necessary to try and save what remains of my son's elementary school years. I have requested an enrollment in Mt. Hall Elementary. It will be a heck of a drive in the morning for my wife or I, and a long bus ride for the kid, but I won't have to worry about him falling behind in an already over crowded school.
I am furious, I am angry and I am disgusted. Not even a symbolic gesture could be made. Mr. Bertling voted to shutter Evergreen. It was a done deal, everyone knew it. Couldn't he have even mustered enough intestinal fortitude for the constituents he represents to cast a single vote against closing our little school? We all knew when the Naples school was saved by the voters of the county that our school was going to close. Most of us completely expect that Mt. Hall will not survive more than a year or two at the most. We know this. But does it have to be so bold and blatant that our children are not as important as the ones in Naples? the Community already decided that, but couldn't our own school board rep have at least given us a swan song?
