Gilbert schools propose sweeping enrollment changes
Combining junior and high schools seems to be working for Chandler and Queen Creek school districts. I’m sure Gilbert school board is looking at those districts on how they have made those schools successful. I remember when we put the 9 th grade at Gilbert high in 1987. Parents were worried. I think it’s worked out pretty well. Change is hard. — Ruth H.
I think a lot of people forget that school districts are both a business and considered an institution of learning. Focusing on the education and the best for the people inside their buildings in the business. Before judging consider what they are working to do to best support the people in those buildings. Also trust that no one there wants to be in the business to harm children. 7-12 has proven doable and successful. Moving resources could keep providing a better than average experience for the kids. Good luck Gilbert! — Jo Lynne L.
