A December 6th Post-Gazette article included a comment by a parent that said Peebles or Hosack students would be hurt by attending McKnight, which the parent categorized as an underperforming school.
This statement was not made by SaveNASchools. It was made by a parent who attended the board meeting on November 28th. SaveNASchools does not agree with the parent’s statement.
SaveNASchools is a group that believes the district is comprised of 7 top-notch elementary schools and advocated in its November 28th Community Report to keep all 7 elementary schools open. Page 3 of the report specifically advocates for McKnight Elementary. It notes that McKnight Elementary would become dependent on spare classrooms the first day the new elementary model went into effect and that the district’s ability to deliver excellence in education to these students would be compromised.
McKnight Elementary is a phenomenal school with a reputation for excellence. SaveNASchools is comprised of many parents from McKnight Elementary and these families represent everything that makes this district great.
