Please sign the petition to keep Stuart Wood Elementary School open,
OR if closure is imminent
provide transportation for students who would normally attend the downtown location.
In the downtown core there is only one school that many of our children attend. The closure of this school would cause residents, many of which are already marginalized or people of low income, to have to provide a way for their children to get to school and be picked up after school. Many of these families do not have a vehicle and would have to rely on public transit to transfer their children up the hill to the proposed new Stuart Wood Campus. An awareness that the school may be outdated in terms of wheel chair accessibility and heating costs is true, but I propose that an update to the school is what is needed rather than a closure. In any event if closure is imminent I propose that alternate transportation be provided by the school district, such as a school bus to make the commute easier for downtown parents.
Thank you in advance for considering this petition.

Do Not Close the Stuart Wood Elementary School!
this school is needed immensly. There is a low income housing building almost right across the street. Stop closing schools. Then this problem of overcrowding schools wouldnt occur.
As a caring community, we need to be able to provide a school for the downtown children. Fix the school to make it accessible to all children. Don't close a school and make many children have to find a school that is accessible, out of the downtown core.
Please keep our school open....
