Look at the derelict gov buildings island-wide. They don’t know how to maintain what they have and you want to add to the list? LOL
You think they’ll do something useful with closed schools?

The question is will this happen in a timely fashion? This government is notorious for talk & very little action. By the time that they actually start to convert these buildings the baby boom generation will be dead & gone.

So what is it that we are proposing that the present school system is not doing ,or is unable to do ? Raising men lawn Care Service is a International Charity, who is willing to set up their world headquarters in Bermuda .They have a proven record of changing young peoples lives around . They now want to put their format into an educational program to benefit the youth in Bermuda .Look them up and then answer this question for your self : DO YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD WITH A LAWN MOWER ?

You know, to get back some of those high-paying jobs we drove away back in 2007-2008. Many of the people we drove away earned millions of dollars per year and had children in private school. They paid taxes and did not burden our public school system or other social services. They were good for Bermuda, even if the did highlight the disparity between the “haves” and the “have nots”.
