With the start of the State Fair of Texas and the onset of cooler, Fall weather, we are reminded of other typical Fall activities, such as going back to school.
Then we are also reminded of the recent concerns about the future of Geneva Heights Elementary School. So far there has been no word from Dallas ISD or Trustee Dustin Marshall about hearing our voices or about their agreement that historic Geneva Heights is to be preserved. Let's take another moment and remind them of the importance of retaining the original Geneva Heights Elementary building.
How You Can Help:
With the next public meeting initially suggested for October, this is a critical time to continue to express our support for the retention of the original Geneva Heights school buildings. Please reach out to the important individuals below and remind them that:
- The stability and the continued success at Geneva Heights should be supported through the retention of the beloved historic school building.
- The community legacy, as represented by the historic school building, is a critical component of a comprehensive, community-based approach to educating our children.
- We would like the next public meeting to include architects plans providing more information on how the existing school will be incorporated into the proposed additions.
- To please issue a public affirmation regarding Dallas ISD's intention to retain the original school building. Ask them to let us know they are with us.
Your voice matters. Please reach out ASAP!
