Yes, it's a Friday night and it's Miller Time! After a long work week, it's time to kick back and relax. But not so fast. We need a few moments of your time.
Today's BCCT front page article by Kate Fratti has set her phone to ringing off of her desk. Curiously enough, the calls are from "residents", not "parents". Yes, the same right-wing no-tax wackos who hijacked the last election are at it again, telling the BCCT that they want to send the kids away to contract high school.
If you have kids in grades K-8, is this what you want for their high school yearbook?
If you don't have kids in Morrisville schools, is this what you want for your neighbor's children?
Would you want your children/grandchildren in other communities to be trucked like cattle to another school?
If you can answer "Yes" to the above questions, you can stop reading.
If you answered "No", then let's talk.
You're already sitting at your computer. Open up your email to compose a new email. Copy the next line into the To: section. This is the email list of the school board members and BCCT reporters Kate Fratti and Manasee Wagh
bhellmann@mv.org, aradosti@mv.org, mmihok@mv.org, gheater@mv.org, efrankenfield@mv.org, jkemp@mv.org, rreithmeyer@mv.org, bworob@mv.org, kfratti@phillyburbs.com, mwagh@phillyburbs.com
If you wanted to copy savethemorrisvilleschool@yahoo.com, I would love to see the emails. I've received several already. Thank you for sending them.
For the Subject, pick something like "Don't Farm out the Kids!"
Then go ahead and tell them not to farm out the kids. Our kids are the future of the community, not an inanimate commodity to be traded and bartered.
After you press the send button, relax. You registered your disgust with this cheap ploy, and you dont have to be back at work until Monday. But there's always the board meeting on Wednesday, January 23 at 7:30 PM. Feel free to come out for any of the meetings.

Don't forget to have the Pony Express deliver a quill-penned letter to Bill Farrell too, because he doesn't have email. That is just so 20th Century, man!
I've heard of contact high, but now contract high?
If this succeeds, will our students have to wear their uniforms at the receiving school?
Ah, the devil's in the details...
