Letter: Let’s keep Georgia Brown School open
To the editor,
–It would be a tremendous loss to the families living north of 24th Street if Georgia Brown School closes. The proximity of the campus to the North County Performing Arts Center and the Boys and Girls Club, both of which are building new facilities, is invaluable for the students whose primary mode of transportation is walking. The afterschool programs offered by both PRYAF and BGC offer positive enrichment that influences the lives of the neighborhood children, many of whom come from lower-income households.
The language immersion program at Georgia Brown attracted enrollment from all across the city. If Georgia Brown closes will that program will be implemented at Bauer Speck? I understand that funds are tight, but closing Georgia Brown, a school with a proven track regard of success, would be disregarding the needs of the parents and children who live in northern Paso Robles.
