This petition seeks to establish that the parents and students of E. E. Miller Elementary and Anne Chestnut Middle Schools are looking to ask the school board to consider looking NOT to change the school from a year-round calendar back to a traditional school calendar.

During the meetings with Dr. Frank Till on Monday and Tuesday January 23rd & 24th, he presented to us that his plan was to recommend to the school board that the best move for the school was to move to a traditional school calendar due to decreased enrollment numbers at E E Miller Elementary and Anne Chestnut Middle Schools and increased enrollment at the surrounding schools.

We are asking that our children continue to be giving the chance to strive and excel in the current school setting. No data has been provided that the education of the children has been hindered due to the year round calendar. Nor has data been provided that switching to a traditional calendar will provide our children a better education.

We ask that you please support the parents and children of E. E. Miller and Anne Chestunt and vote against Dr. Till's recommendation.
