Ms. Sue how would I start off my summary? ... The community members of Vavenby...

Yes. That's a good start.

The school Board trustees of Vavenby have come to a decision where they want to close down The Elementary school of Vavenby, and try to maintain their budget. The board is closing the school because the mill shut down and people are moving away. Though there are alot of others who disagree with this, and one of them is Carol Schaffer. She said that she hopes that around 100 people show up at the meeting. They are disagreeing with this because they think that this decsion will cripple the community. The school board trustees are hoping to close down the school at the latest.

please add anything I have missed or that I need, all your help is appreciated, thanks.

See above.

The argument for keeping the school open is that its closure would have a negative impact on the community. In order to support this argument, the community members are planning to fill the school with 100 or more residents. By doing so, they hope to make a strong case to the board, persuading them to delay the closure of the school for several years.

To understand the reasoning behind this argument, you can consider the following points:

1. Identify the impact of the school closure: Start by understanding what the closure of the school would mean for the community. Consider factors such as the loss of educational opportunities for students, the potential decline in property values, the loss of jobs for teachers and staff, and the disruption of community activities hosted at the school.

2. Assess the importance of the school to the community: Determine why the school is considered vital to the community. Is it a central hub where people come together for events and activities? Does it provide resources and services that are not easily accessible elsewhere in the community? Understanding the unique role that the school plays in the community will strengthen the argument for its preservation.

3. Gather evidence: In order to support the argument, collect data and information that demonstrates the positive impact the school has on the community. This can include academic achievements, community engagement, extracurricular activities, and testimonials from students, parents, and community members.

4. Mobilize community support: To fill the school with 100 or more residents, community members will need to rally support. This could involve outreach campaigns, meetings, public forums, and partnerships with local organizations. The goal is to engage as many individuals as possible who believe in the importance of keeping the school open.

5. Present a persuasive case to the board: Once the evidence and community support are gathered, it is crucial to present a well-structured and convincing argument to the board. This can include a formal proposal outlining the short- and long-term benefits of keeping the school open, backed by the data and support collected.

Remember to approach the situation from an empathetic standpoint, highlighting the positive impact the school has had on the community and the potential negative consequences of its closure. Additionally, engaging in open and respectful communication with the board members will increase the chances of them delaying the closure of the school for several years.
