Any information from this website can be used to explain the importance of Pearl Creek!
-
We are aware that decreased enrollments and flat state funding (effectively decreased state funding) require that some schools must be closed this year.
-
We believe that closing Pearl Creek will exacerbate the problems by: additional people leaving the district/unenrolling their children, decreasing property values in the Pearl Creek area, leading to a reduction in tax revenue, leading to lower borough funding for the school district.
-
We believe that by transforming Pearl Creek into a STEAM school, the district will not only retain students that they would otherwise lose, but would also provide an exceptional choice for students across the borough who are not currently attending a district school.
-
We believe this would effectively be the beginning of staunching the out-migration of students while also providing a model for innovative transformation that can be replicated across the district leading to better opportunities and outcomes for every student.
