Support Moorlands - Stand Together

/

Hi Moorlands Community,

At our recent PTA General Meeting, NSD Representatives, Director Dave Wellington and Deputy Superintendent & CFO JoLynn Berge, joined us to discuss the potential closure of Moorlands. We had approximately an hour of Q&A, giving the community members the opportunity to ask clarifying questions about the proposed closure, the reasoning behind it, and share its impact on our community.  

The conversation was tough at times and we recognize that there are difficult decisions involving challenges with district budgets and enrollment that need to be addressed. At the same time, our community has significant concerns about the pace of the decision making process, the transparency, and the data being presented to support the proposed closures.  One important takeaway is that our PTA leadership will continue engaging with neighboring PTA communities in the south end of the district to stand together in advocating for keeping our school communities intact until a long-term plan is secured for both the communities and the school buildings.
