Paper Petition

Several people have expressed to us that they have had difficulties signing the online petition. We have created a paper petition you can use to express your concerns. It is below. Please email it to pfaexpansion@gmail.com.

Freedom Academy Board Members and Administrators:

Please refrain from building a high school on the same grounds as the K-8
School.

These are our concerns:

* The issues involved in building on the current site have not been
explored fully nor is there adequate time to make such a long-lasting
decision before the 2012-2013 school year starts in just four months.
* The Governing Board has not adequately informed the parents or the
neighborhood about this plan and has not invited sufficient public input.
* The impacts on the current K-8 model and students of expanding to a K-
12 model on the same site have not been considered.
* The site is too small to accommodate 400 more students.
* There are already parking issues; these are sure to increase.
* The current site is in a residential neighborhood that cannot
accommodate the increased traffic that a high school would entail.
* Housing upwards of 200 teenage drivers at the same site where a large
group of elementary school students walk to school puts both children in
the neighborhood and those who walk to school in physical danger.
* Housing 400 teenagers on the same site as elementary school students
brings risks to those young children including: Possible Assaults or
Molestation, Bullying, Exposure to inappropriate language and behavior.
