To the bike board:

It is extremely likely that the school board is finalizing the close to town site.

Here is the latest update from Nancy Ganz that indicates the school may hopefully be relocated close to the neighborhood:
Tomorrow's BOE meeting is at 7 p.m. (at the Board office conference room) on S. High Street. 

Also, the agenda that is online for this meeting would seem to indicate that the Collins Ferry Road location (Marstiller's property) may be going through after all. Here's the link to the agenda:

I just learned about this meeting on the 11th.  At a recent SNA meeting it was discovered that the School Board is now considering a distant location to replace Suncrest Primary school, rather than the location across from NETL.  Would anyone be able to attend the School Board meeting?  Keeping the school close to the neighborhood would be a desirable outcome.

Friends,

Today I had a pleasant chat with Monongalia County School Board President Barbara Parsons. From that conversation, it appears that on Tuesday, March 11, the school board may be voting on the location for the new Suncrest Elementary School. The meeting will be held at the School Board administrative offices at 6 p.m.

I will be out of town on that date, but I wanted to alert Suncrest neighbors and ask you to consider attending and expressing your views. 

From my perspective, it makes sense to choose a site that will keep our children in the neighborhood or nearby, rather than bussing them to a more distant location. I believe a site under consideration on Collins Ferry Road might be ideal. It is central to Suncrest, has infrastructure in place, and transportation would be less costly than bussing many children to a more distant location. The property available is outside the city limits, but it might be possible to annex it into the city for optimal police and fire service.

I hope those with an interest in this issue will attend the School Board meeting.

Sincerely,

Nancy Ganz, City Council Ward 7
