Leave our small schools alone!!! They work just fine and are not a significant financial burden on the school system.

The costs would simply be transferred to the County, not saved. (Still need to insure and maintain, unless sold. )Does re-opening create unusual obstacles for charter viability?

I moved here for this reason and fought 5 long years to get custody of him so that he could benefit from a small school setting. Now you want to close his school and take it away from him. What a shame!!!

Closing these schools due to a temporary dip in enrolment is short-sighted, detrimental to our students' learning, and bad policy. Demographics means enrolments will grow again, and then we will have to build new schools at great expense in a few years.
The kids will be sent to schools further away, which will now be over-crowded - leaving home earlier, getting home later, and spending more time on the bus in between, eroding family and homework time.
Closing schools will result in unemployment, taking more money out of the economy, and causing hardship to area families. Closing schools won’t even save much money - the buildings will still need to be maintained, lit, heated and cooled, and secured.
These small schools are a hub of community life and all of this is being discussed in a county with one of the highest incomes in the country, and a county that spends less per student than its neighbors like the Fairfax - this reeks of destroying small schools and communities in order to pander to greedy, tight-fisted, moneyed interests.
Show some leadership, and stand up for schools, and our children.

I asked him why he said he was giving it to the school. I asked what fund raiser they were doing. He told me they weren't doing a fund raiser he wanted to pay the county so that he could keep his school.

It has been proven time and time again that small schools not only is better for the students and teachers but is the glue of the entire community. Something that large schools can never do. If your looking to fix LCPS' s budget how about you look starting with the headquarters first. There is absolutely 100% no need period for employees of the headquarters of LCPS to have county cars. That is absolutely absurd I don't care how far you drive. Get your act together and do the research. Don't fill up the newer schools by closing the small schools down. With the rapid population growth of the county, LCPS will have to build many more schools in the near future. Use what you have now. Hillsboro is paid off. Let's be a county that is unified as a whole with our education program. Let's be a county that excels in education by keeping and producing more small schools. Let's keep jobs for our teachers and seriously take a good hard long look at your budgeting plans for LCPS because your becoming unreliable. Think smart! Think ahead! Small schools is the way to go.

I strongly believe this is due the community feel and closeness that a small school can have! Please don't close such a wonderful school!

The projected growth in western loudoun will fill these schools and if closed, the board will be looking to tax payers for a $60M bond to build new schools!
