we don't think the school board understands or knows who marshall as a community is. it's been said already here tonight. may not be the biggest school. we may not have the political clout of other schools. we may not even be in the top 10 or 15 choices when parents decide to send their kids to school, but we are a family. we are a close community that cares about our families and kids and works very closely to ensure we provide a safe learning environment. we are not blind to occupy our school. in closing, we wonder why the board didn't consider how this move would have impacted the safety of our children and that is just an irresponsible decision in our opinion. hopefully tonight you hear what is being said and make sure no other school goes through the stress that you put us under and that every school feels that you have their best interests at heart in the interests of the holidays, let me please give you a friendly reminder of who you serve. you serve the parents and the children of this community. you do not serve the mayor. thank you very much.
