What do you think about neighborhood schools? Sure, students will be able to go to a school closer to where they live. Sure, they will be able to more familiar with their community as they will be going to school with other students who live near by. Sure, the district will save money on transportation. That all sounds good but....
What about students leaving the school they were at for 3-4 years? What about the connections and relationships made at the school with the staff? What about students moving to a school closer, but not safer? What about keeping Whittier a kinder school so all kinders can stay together and feel safer as they aren't with taller and older students?
