Town Hall Meeting

Last night I attended the town hall meeting held by School Board Member Alison Bartlett. She provided a public forum for everyone to ask the questions that aren't getting answered anywhere else. It tore my heart out to hear the Oakwood students asking why Oakwood was being closed, why they were losing their school, why Cobb County doesn't care about them. They are so passionate about their school and the fact that it is often the last chance for students who would otherwise drop out or worse. CCAE pledged to help fight this travesty. We are also involving GAE in the fight. I was lucky to do an interview with the AJC about the issue, hopefully it will do some good. Thank you to all the amazing teachers from Oakwood who came out to fight not for themselves, but for their students. Not one teacher said they were worried about their jobs, only that they were terrified for their students. Please help by emailing the board members, by showing up at the board meeting on May 12th at 8am, or attend the night board meeting on May 27th at 7pm. We must stand together to stop this!
