Opposition to Meadowbrook Move Resources

To recap our opposition efforts are listed below and fully detailed in this Google doc (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jjoSP_5XXj4gPVf30c4f49ttYetocyBHVtUkPc46MIQ/edit?usp=sharing)

1. Major Concerns

  • We are being moved permanently to a school that is sub-par for our needs permanently, away from a school that currently meets our needs.

  • The proposed location is not sufficient to accommodate all of our students

  • We finally have our new HVAC systems, which we fought hard to get for many years, only to be moved away as soon as it was installed.

  • Not enough parking space - we have 3 year olds that can’t ride the bus (are not allowed) and parents must be able to walk them safely into the school building and pick them up at mid-day.

  • No band and orchestra rooms, no gym, no lockers, no locker rooms, no space for all of our students - temporary trailers for our entire middle school is not acceptable for a permanent change.

  • The classrooms are very small, with not enough floor space for our Primary and Lower Elementary students to spread out and do their floor work.

  • No space for special education; No space for coordinators guidance counselor, and Tech/IT

  • No Middle School(MS) Science Labs

  • Mo Middle School Sports Facilities - or any MS facilities

  • No storage space, which is really needed for our Montessori materials (we have so many materials that our teachers rotate into the classroom throughout the year).

  • Loss of the outdoor green classroom that we have spent years building to be a certified Green School

  • Improvements we fought HARD for on the RGMS campus (playground, basketball courts, new windows, small bathrooms for our primary students) that we will leave behind in a pandemic

  • Transportation- increased bus times for small children

  • Disrespect and lack of communication before ‘decision’

  • Building is old and in disrepair

  • MS students opted out of other Speciality Programs to remain with RGMS community - missed deadlines now as we have been blindsided with only the option to have them remain in Middle School in permanent Temporaries, without a gym, without science labs, without adequate space for the rest of their time, and all MS students that come after them - it is a permanent move

  • Be clear on what we are asking. We want to stay where we are!

2. Upcoming Events:

3. Social Media Campaign

4. Email Campaign Contacts: see Google doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jjoSP_5XXj4gPVf30c4f49ttYetocyBHVtUkPc46MIQ/edit?usp=sharing for example emails and individual email addresses

  • Let’s flood everyone with emails this weekend, so Monday morning is a shock. Send an email and have your friends, relatives, and especially your children send one.

  • Complete string of emails is here (but better to send individual emails, is possible).
