WE will not stand for the degradation of our community and school. This petition is for those who believe that beer stores should not be allowed within 1000 feet of McWhorter Elementary in Mesquite, Texas. Balch Springs is the one making this attempt at our new 17 million dollar school..a school their Balch Springs children attend. Please help join the fight.
The feedback from our neighborhood confirms that this concern about the school environment resonates deeply with many of us. I am currently reaching out to local planning officials to ensure they understand that our community prioritizes the safety of these students above commercial expansion. Your collective focus keeps this issue visible while we prepare for the next steps in the formal review process.

The steady growth of this petition shows a community deeply committed to the sanctity of our school environment. This momentum proves that many people view this location as fundamentally inappropriate for a retail alcohol outlet. We have clearly demonstrated that the welfare of our students is a priority that cannot be ignored by those in positions of authority.

Who thought this was a good idea? Someone needs to wake up and think about the families in this neighborhood. Not okay.

Totally wrong. Put it somewhere else away from the children.

Are you kidding me? A beer store next to an elementary school is the worst idea i have ever heard. Do not let this happen.
