Community schools and community libraries should be saved at all cost but unfortunately the policymakers seem to be bent on destruction unless it has a ball. I do not know anything about the school other than what I just read but...would it be possible to put a DayCare center in the school along with the K-5 program. Really good daycare is very hard to find and it seems like Pratt would be ideal for it with playground and learning material. There's a large business area to draw from along University ...including the UofM. I believe there is a program to train immigrants on how to operate daycares that could be incorporated. Perhaps for this training, grant monies and city monies could be acquired. Would they close you down if a steady flow of money was coming in?
