I really can't believe in this time that anyone with the kids in mind would want to eliminate a country school! I truly feel Newark is a great school & would not imagine sending my kids so far out of the way to get less individual education! Yes,we are a small school but I truly feel our kids benefit from that! They get more one on one attention and I really can't see how it can cost any of us THAT MUCH MORE since we would obviously have to add more teachers to orfordville AND footville (if they can even support that number of students in thier space)to support the number of kids that would be added...YES it would add one whole other class to each grade as MOST of our classes are full at Newark. I aqm very proud to have my kids go to Newark & have no complaints AT ALL about thier elementary education...in fact I think the teachers do a great job!!!!! I of course have not seen any numbers to support the economic end of this discussion so perhaps I need to be educated in that aspect before making these comments but I DO KNOW that we have a very supportive PTO & parental staff that enjoys the school

Wondering-I am not implying anything about or against any of the staff in orfordville or footville. I simply do not see how we can think we can just FIT another class of each grade into a school(s) that to my knowledge already have full classrooms. As far as the staff at Newark goes, if we don't have the extra classrooms to fill how can we add more staff without additional payroll & building costs that it would take to make room for the additional students? I have to agree with NewarkMom in that it just doesn't make sense to leave a perfectly good school set empty while adding additional costs to cut it out.
