Dear SCPS Community:
The members of the Board of Education are keenly aware of community concerns that have arisen about Deal Island Elementary School, especially those in the local school community, since the Board's meeting on Tuesday evening. The Board shares your concerns, will be reviewing them, and anticipates you will hear more on this topic in the near future. In the interim, please be assured that this Board has not discussed closing the school. Moreover, significant changes to Deal Island or any other Somerset County Public Schools facility or instructional program cannot and will not be made without the Board’s knowledge, input, or approval.
William McInturff – Board Chairperson, On behalf of the Members of the Board
