Letter to the Editor of the Milford Mirror
Reader: School decision was certainly political
To the Editor:
I was disappointed when the K-2, 3-5 elementary school restructuring plan was passed by the Board of Education. I had concerns about the plan itself; but what was most upsetting was the way the plan was rolled out to the public at the last minute, with little opportunity for public input, most of which was ignored by the board anyways. Change can be good for everyone, when the change is planned well in advance and rolled out in a methodical way with input from everyone involved, but this change was too much, too fast, with everyone feeling like it was a done deal by the time the plan was announced.
