Thank you Iris for the many In troubled times, stressed groups receive the brunt of the problems. Recently, an emergency meeting was called in Boulder by Garfield County School Board Member Gladys LeFevre to discuss the possibility of closing Boulder Elementary School. The school district is experiencing troubled times, not the least of which is a result of questionable accounting, misguided management, and a recession. The students, parents, and the community of Boulder are now faced with the serious consequences of these issues. The students are saddened, through no fault of their own, by the news that they may have to leave the school family and setting they love. They are troubled by the serious and unsettling discussions in the community and around the kitchen tables regarding their educational destinies. The parents worry about the merits of sending small children out on a school bus at 6:30 a.m. across the Hogsback to Escalante and getting home after 4:00 p.m. The parents also worry about the quality of education that can be provided in a forced home school setting with their already stretched schedules trying to make ends meet. The community is justifiably alarmed because they realize that an elementary school is a key component in attracting new families and businesses to their struggling, remote, and rural area as well as serving as part of the heart of Boulder. Without a school the chances for growth are out of their control and may impact them for years into the future. These gloomy scenarios come as a shock to Boulder based on comments made in repeated School Board meetings where they were given encouraging forecasts, as well as support. The School Board reported that Boulder has been a financial asset to the district as provided for under Necessarily Existent Small Schools (NESS) and not a financial liability. Feeling like an isolated and marginalized group who has not been given a voice, who has not been given all the facts, or even a chance, Boulderites are not happy and wonder - Who will be the next minority in Garfield School District? The upcoming School Board meeting is scheduled for April 15 at Antimony. We will be there to show our support to keep our school.
