Back to the Drawing Board

The Conejo Valley School District has chosen to do the right thing.  At the February 5th board meeting the board voted to throw out the results of the original Primary Criteria analysis and start the scoring process all over again.  After over four hours of public comment from our active community, the board made a bold decision and the school closure process will now have the opportunity for an open and thorough review.

Congratulations to everyone who has worked so hard to realize this outcome.  Now the hard work begins.  Many parents still believe that school closure in any form is not necessary.  We will continue to engage in this process to ensure that any analysis is fair and accurate and to express that we believe that all schools should remain open.

Congratulations and a huge thank you to so many of you that have been working so hard to help save our school and all schools.

As I informed my children this morning of the board's decision, they were very relieved. I also told them that this decision might mean we will receive new students at our school. I then asked "How do you think we should treat them, being new at Maple?" Brianna (3rd grade) then replied "We'll treat them Maple style! They'll be a Maple pal!" You have just got to love what Maple has taught our children!

I am so proud to be part of the Maple family. Thank you for all your hard work & efforts.

I do agree that the fight is not over yet. We still need to be in this and work together.
