The school committee decided against the proposed budget cuts and reached a consensus to keep our neighborhood schools intact. This outcome demonstrates the value of persistent public engagement when it comes to the future of our children. We should remain attentive as the district moves forward with new fiscal planning.

We disagree that this is the only way to cut such a small percentage out of a large budget. We urge the school committee to hear our voices and vote against the school department's budget.

THINK ABOUT THE KIDS FOR ONCE AND NOT JUST THE BUDGET NUMBERS. DISGUSTING.
This is a terrible idea. Parents are not going to be able to get to school events if their kids are across town. Stop messing with our kids education.
Cumberland schools need to stay in the neighborhoods. My oldest is already worried about moving schools so much. Leave them where they are.
Keep the schools local. The busing alone will cost more than they think they are saving. Bad call.
ridiculous. moving kids around like that messes up their routine and makes it so much harder to keep them focused. dont break what isnt broken.
