Supports Deer Park bond
As a concerned member of the Deer Park School community, I urge all eligible voters to pay close attention to the upcoming May 6th ballot and to give strong consideration in voting YES on the Deer Park School Bond. Recent discussions, including a vital community meeting organized by dedicated parents, have illuminated the critical need for this investment and corrected damaging misconceptions about our school.
While the $4 million bond request may initially seem burdensome, a closer look reveals a strategic and phased approach to address urgent needs. This isn’t about extravagant expansion; it’s about providing the basic necessities for our existing students and dedicated staff. The Quonset hut, originally donated from a farmer’s field in 1967, is showing its age. The front offices, originally the home for the teacher when Deer Park was a one-room schoolhouse, require an expensive repair and maintenance budget. Currently, teachers are using windowless classrooms and closets as offices.
