We the undersigned, strongly believe in local community based public education. The education provided in SouthEast Oakville has been exemplary and there is no justification for closing our schools. We do not support closing our existing community schools to fund a new school in Clearview which has a declining student population. We strongly support Investing in the existing Ward 3 schools, which the Board has neglected for years with threats of closure. We believe it is fiscally irresponsible to spend millions of dollars to build a new school when existing schools have the capacity for all children in Ward 3 Or go to www.myoakville.org and click on petition to sign
