Save Our Bonham

Greetings,

I just signed the following petition addressed to: Dear Mayor of Dallas, DISD Board and City Council Members

----------------
Understanding DISD is facing some difficult financial times, there is still no rational justification for closing James B Bonham Elementary. Remember, this school was one of 10 schools IN THE NATION to be awarded the 2009 National Excellence in Urban Education Award, has been awarded the 2010 Presidential Blue Ribbon award, and is consistently rated exemplary.

Instead of demolishing one of the best schools in DISD, if James B Bonham is being underutilized, then increase its use. Extend it to K-5, or add a dual language English/Spanish pilot program there. Just keeping the current students at Bonham beyond the 3rd grade will put the school at or beyond capacity by 2013 and increase Dallas parents' options for exemplary elementary education. Please rethink your proposed consolidation plan. Promote and invest in excellence. Keep James B Bonham.

Sincerely,

[Your name]
