Community Pitch-In @ 9th St. Park. 5:30p.

I was just told about this story, which I hadn’t heard about yet since my return home. From what I heard, the MCCSC wants to replace Fairview school and use the existing facility for administrative buildings. They want to build a new school and one of the proposed replacement sites is 9th street park. This Herald-Times article tells a little bit about the debate. Near West Side resident Lori Sears is opposed to the building of a school at the 9th Street Park site and is trying to organize members of the community around this issue. There is a pitch-in this coming Tuesday at 9th Street Park to show community opposition to building a new school at that site.
