The Issue

Winston Education Campus has been empty for 12 years. Twelve years of a building sitting yards from our homes and our playgrounds, serving no child, educating no one.

Families in Wards 7 and 8 are already choosing language immersion education. We are building biliteracy from pre-k up. Middle school comes, and our options disappear. The nearest programs are across the river. We should not be penalized for living East of the River.

A language immersion middle school is ready to come East of the River. The building exists. The families are here. The demand is real.

We don't care about sectors. We want our kids to have the access they deserve. Give us the building. Give us our school!

Sign this petition if you think Winston should be opened as a language immersion middle school in East of the River.
