Other school options

As a strong believer in school choice, I read with interest your front page story about Butler closing multiple elementary schools.

Education decisions are best left in the hands of parents. Larger classes and longer bus rides are not what most parents desire for their children, even if it does save some portion of the budget.

The best way to increase learning is to decrease class size, so making larger primary centers seems counterproductive to the goals of education.

That’s why my husband and I choose to send our children to parochial school. Too expensive, you say? Financial aid is available for most students. Our school is a community, a family.

If you are looking for a better alternative, why not investigate Holy Sepulchre Catholic School? We have an open house on Nov. 19. It would be worth the trip just to learn more and explore the options that are available to parents for their children.
