Our South Boulder community will be most affected by these school closures. Have you researched longitudinal studies on the effects of school closures and their impact on a community? The most recent Stanford research reveals that school closures do not save money and that the negative consequences may outweigh the good.

People buy homes in our area because of the school options we have. I can't guarantee the future, but I can almost guarantee that families will not choose an overcrowded school for a home that is 1M+.
