SaveSalts — Keep Our Neighborhood School
Community Brief

SaveSalts — Keep Our Neighborhood School

Our position is clear: we want to leave Saltonstall school how it is now. The School Committee votes December 15th on closure plans that would displace our accesible neighborhood school. After last year's middle school upheaval, our elementary families deserve stability.

Urgent: School Committee votes December 15th to close an elementary school. Saltonstall could be moved out of its neighborhood.

Why Keep Saltonstall in Place?

After last year's disruptive middle school changes, our elementary families deserve stability. Moving Saltonstall creates more problems than it solves.

Accesible
Saves buses, reduces traffic, keeps kids close to home.
Best Building
Newest, most efficient facility in the district.
The Bottom Line
Our families have already endured significant upheaval. Moving Saltonstall would disrupt another stable neighborhood school while adding transportation burdens and overcrowding.

Scenarios 1, 2 & 4

Move or merge Saltonstall students

Would disrupt our stable neighborhood school and add transportation burdens

Scenario 5

Keep Saltonstall exactly as it is now
