Children ask Co-Cos to Save their Schools

That seems to be the proverbial question as some of our children pleaded with Guilford County Commissioners last night to save the axe from cutting $3 million from the school system's general maintenance fund. And the ongoing leaky roof situation at Archer took center stage, among other items children brought to board members last night.

N&R:

“I don’t like my hair getting wet when I come to school,” Archer Elementary fifth grader Theresah Woodland said after reading a letter to the commissioners Thursday night during a hearing on the proposed county budget.

Archer’s roof leaked until just a few weeks ago when crews were finally able to repair it using donated materials.

Before that, Woodland and other students had to dodge leaks throughout the school.

That repair is just one of dozens on a list of maintenance issues throughout the school district.

But officials say many of those projects would be delayed if county commissioners approve a proposed $3 million cut to the district’s maintenance fund.

O really very sad.. but for this purpose they must take some other steps so that this problem can be solved as early as possible because I think this is a major problem.
