Convert the GARD Center into a national School of Agriculture. Promote innovation. Encourage self-sustainability. Recognize what has been built with love and dedication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why not allow Glanvilles to continue its work with the students who are too often turned away elsewhere \u2014 the ones struggling academically and behaviorally \u2014 the ones most in need of patient, committed educators?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Instead, we face a scenario where resources will still be consumed regardless \u2014 teachers must still be paid, buses must still run, ink and paper must still be used, and printers still need maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> If that\u2019s the case, why break what is already working?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are we going to watch yet another promising school, built on vision and sacrifice, become a shell of what it could be \u2014 another beautiful building left to rot under bureaucracy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We say we love our students. We say we care about education. But love without action is lip service.
