(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Pine Castle is a wonderful school and my children have benefit greatly from the strong community of loving, involved parents. I am deeply distressed by the possibility that it will be closing. Where has the lottery money gone?

- This is an outstanding A school with a tight knit community of involved parents. I am very pleased with my childrens' academic progress and the attention to my special needs child with ADHD. This school needs to remain open and lawmakers need to find other sourses of income instead of closing our A rated community schools in favor of a "Big Box" method of teaching. Keep our class sizes down and examine other areas to cut rates.
Thanks,
Connie Jennings
