Video: Demonstration Over School Closures
This morning, a group of parents and students gathered at the roundabout to protest, with the group “demanding a pause on the current reform plans.”
A spokesperson previously said, “What started as a group of concerned Gilbert Institute parents fighting for our school has grown into something much bigger—a call for major change in our education system. We are demanding a pause on the current reform plans and a shift toward real improvements that put our children first.
“The current plan to close so many great schools without suitable options in place to accept our children is unacceptable. Our children deserve better, and so do the dedicated teachers working tirelessly in a system that doesn’t support them. We feel the current education reform plan is not addressing the real issues that need urgent attention.”
