My family moved here a year and a half ago and can't emphasize enough how grateful we are to be within walking and biking distance to Narragansett school. Both of my children attend there and ride their bikes almost throughout the entire year. Traveling to different schools can also highly impact work and after school activities, time constraints, increased stress, less family time with traffic delays, etc. The community needs to come together and determine a plan that will support our children for years to come. This proposal is a bandaid fix that surely will not solve the issue. It will create inconsistency and instability which is the exact opposite of what we try to teach our children in this home

As the mother of two young children, one at Village School, I support the hard work of finding a long term solution to addressing population growth in Gorham schools.

My family moved to Gorham because we wanted to provide our kids with a strong and stable education. Please keep the community schools!

Moving students around won't solve the growth problem. My preference would be to renovate or replace Narragansett, the smallest of the elementary schools.

Having my children in different schools or changing zones, knowing that those of us causing the growth chose our homes based on current zones are not solutions to this problem! We need more new schools. Please take this as a warning that action at the HS level needs to happen soon to prepare for these kids!

We purchased our home to stay in the Great Falls zoning map. These proposals are not something I support.

I moved into my house 6 years ago because of its close proximity to Village Elementary School. I chose my house knowing that my children would be able to walk to school every day and be together until middle school. I would like to find a long term solution for our towns over populating of the schools.

These plans will not work for our family.
