Well written! Thank you Bruce. I appreciate the paragraph supporting matter-of-right neighborhood schools, these are fundamental to strong communities. Once I get the ok from the commission I will have staff send a hard copy to the DME and a mailed copy.

Good question. Does this require a vote or can we just discuss this here since the commission has decided about writing this for at least two months (last two meetings)? If we do not get this done as Bruce said by the 8th the letter becomes irrelevant.

I approve the letter.
May need some edits from some of you, I made few suggestions.
Thank you.
