Naples group to address school board |

A number of members of the Naples community plan
to attend Tuesday evening's school board meeting
to address two issues of concern, and they're
hoping that all potentially affected will be there as
well. The school board meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 14, in the Middle School library, and the questions they'll hear from Naples patrons regard plans to combine classes at the elementary, putting second and third graders and third and fourth graders together, and plans to eliminate special education classes next year. Earlier, parents of Naples Elementary special ed students were told that they need to transfer their children to Valley View Elementary next year, a move many Naples parents are unwilling to take. "Decisions like these will impact the entire county at a time when we are desperately trying to increase our county-wide student enrollment," said one Naples parent who fears continued school consolidation.
