Douglass has been such a lifeboat to my family and I know so many others. Post Marshall fire the teachers and staff jumped in and helped not only give emotional support to my children but academic as well. This process to close Douglass was thoughtless and irresponsible considering the amount of families that rely on the important programs hosted through Douglass. To blindside families and teachers this way with no warning is not just deeply disrespectful, it shatters the trust that keeps our school community together.
