It would be so sad to see Scavo go. I went there 40 yrs ago before it was named Scavo, when it was just called Drop-In down on Indianola Rd, bcuz it was the alternative to just quitting school . Back then it was either you just quit school or go there if you were pregnant. I went there & was all prepared to be able to get my ged à yr ahead of my class at Lincoln ‼️ Then 25 yrs ago - my oldest son went there & had 3 of the same teachers & counselors I had when I went there, same 20 yrs ago when my youngest son went. Those teachers understand kids ‼️ they put value & worth in all kids, even if they are quote unquote troubled kids ‼️ They don't consider any kid as a "throwaway" ‼️

South Alternative is the only reason I graduated. Traditional school was to overwhelming and I needed to work . Part time school was perfect . Plus the atmosphere was chill and the teachers let you call them by first name . You could use the bathroom when you needed and get a snack no questions asked . Most everyone that I know spread over 3 grade spans graduated. They helped students find jobs and explore future ideas . They provided everything . Scavo and all the teachers of 1995-1998, were our heroes . Thank you and I know their are more kids now than ever before who need an alternative environment.

This school was so beneficial to me and some of my greatest highschool memories happened here. Especially my art teacher and math teacher both very loving patient people. Exactly what I needed at that time In my life. Please #savescavo and help future generations!!

Scavo is a successful school providing alternative options for kids who need them. No legitimate school board would cut expenses on the back of a program like this.

Scavo is a great alternative school for those that need it. We need to keep it around.

This school was so supportive of my sister. She was able to get her diploma and my niece had a safe day care area to be in while my sister was in school. I can’t thank them enough for that!

I went to DLC and Drop In. Scavo is needed for the people that were in my same situation. Alternative Schools save many kids from being on the street!
