Concerned about Bethlehem's schools? Bethlehem plans to tear down Broughal middle school, and its school board tried to muzzle some members of the public from speaking against it. Now, Rev. Joel Atkinson of the Cathedral Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem has scheduled a Panel Discussion forum regarding school development with an emphasis on the Broughal issue.DATE: March 13 (Tuesday)
TIME: 7:00-8:30 pm
Location: Cathedral Church of Nativity
Sayre Hall
321 Wyandotte Street, Bethlehem– hosted by Rev. Joel
Panel Participants:
- Loretta Leeson, BASD SB Member (CONFIRMED)
- Supt. Joe Lewis, BASD SB (CONFIRMED)
- BASD Business Administrator (CONFIRMED)
- Amey Senape, Friends of Broughal School (CONFIRMED)
- Dana Grubb, Friends of Broughal School (CONFIRMED)
Amey Senape tells me, "This is an excellent opportunity to point out why Broughal is an Economic, Environmental & Cultural ASSET & should be REUSED. Taxpayers should NOT be expected to foot the bill for this ill-conceived demolition plan that much of the community is opposed to – they can have their new school, but there is no valid reason that Broughal cannot be reused or sold for redevelopment. A NEW Nitschmann will also be discussed."
