We, the undersigned, are writing to express our deep concern and opposition to the proposed closure of Petros-Joyner school. Petros-Joyner school holds a special place in our community, and its closure would have significant negative consequences for our students, families, and the overall community.

Petros-Joyner has been a cornerstone of our community for many years, providing quality education, fostering a sense of community, and serving as a hub for various activities. The closure of our beloved school would disrupt the lives of students, teachers, and families who have invested time and effort into making Petros-Joyner a nurturing and thriving educational environment.

We understand that budgetary constraints and other considerations may lead to difficult decisions. However, we firmly believe that closing Petros-Joyner is not the solution to these challenges. We urge you to explore alternative measures to address the issues at hand while preserving the essential role that Petros-Joyner plays in our community.

By signing this petition, we voice our strong opposition to the closure of Petros-Joyner and request that the school board carefully reconsider this decision. We believe that together, we can find innovative solutions and secure the necessary resources to ensure the continued success and vitality of our cherished educational institution.

We, the undersigned, implore you to listen to the concerns of the community and work collaboratively towards a solution that upholds the best interests of our students, families, and the community at large.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. We trust that you will make a decision that reflects the values and aspirations of our community.

This school is vital to the community. Keeping this school will also prevent the other schools from being over crowed and the children from PJ won't have to spend hours on the bus for transportation to the Coalfiled and Wartburg schools.

The Petros community is already poverty stricken and closing the school would be detrimental. There are already kids that rely on school food for their daily meals and there are people living in tents, the answer is more help- not less.

This school is all about their kids, and they truly know each and every students story. You do not get that anywhere else. The student to ratio is perfect for the students and they get the one on one they need to succeed.

This School is so much more than a school. It’s a safe place for kids it’s a family. So much more than that.

Political move with no concern what so ever for a small community with a excellent school & teachers that are the best in the county . Don’t say cost cause that’s a lie. Will cost you way more to build on to other schools that are already overcrowded or build new schools .

I attended PJ, k-8th. And all 3 of my sons did also. I am so sad this is happening. I hope they can figure out a different solution and find a way to keep PJ open.
