Our current superintendent Dr. Bearden, will leave the Fayette County school system at the end of December. Dr. Bearden submitted a redistricting plan to help a budget shortfall for the next school year. His plan includes closing Fayette Middle School. If FMS closes, the entire north eastern, east, and central areas of Fayette County will have to fit into just one middle school. Former FMS students would attend Bennett's Mill Middle School.
BMMS would immediately fill to 100% capacity. Along with a nearly full northern Flat Rock Middle and southern Whitewater Middle, all middle school classrooms in Fayette County would sit close to capacity. Within a few short years, Fayette County will begin growing again and need more middle school capacity. When growth begins, we don't need to spend tax payer money building another middle school after just closing one down!
The home owners below are asking our Superintendent and the five Fayette County Board of Education members to keep Fayette Middle School open. The questionable cost savings do not justify closing this large community's school. Do not combine two huge middle school districts into one. Prevent another buliding crisis in a few short years. Preserve the wishes of two communities.
KEEP FAYETTE MIDDLE SCHOOL OPEN!

My kids walk to this school and we love the community here. Do not force them to move to a school that is already going to be overcrowded. This makes no sense.
BMMS is already packed enough. Putting more kids in those hallways is a recipe for disaster. Please reconsider this plan.
STOP CLOSING SCHOOLS. Fayette middle is a staple of this town.
short sighted move. dont do it.
Classic government math. Close a perfectly good school just to spend millions building a new one down the road in five years. Keep it open.

Our property values will take a hit and the kids will suffer. Think about the families for once instead of just the budget.
