Subject: They’re planning on closing Bennett and Moncure Schools?
This School Reorganization Fiasco being pimped by Logan, McManus, Hamm keeps getting worst and worst. Are these people tone deaf?

And folks, when thinking about bus routes don’t allow yourself to confuse the community of Moncure as being the extent of the bus route. Moncure students live literally to the Harnett Co. line which is almost 15mins in a car from Moncure School. Now think about a 35mph multi-stop bus route and 30 extra mins is a best case scenario, more
like an hour. My children will be on a bus for a LOOOONG time to go to Horton. Same goes for Bennett and Silk Hope (Randolph and Alamance Co. lines respectively).
To note, when briefing my ex-school Principal father on the situation of reconfiguration the FIRST thing out of his mouth was, “They’re planning on closing Bennett and Moncure if this is the plan.”
Who are you going to believe? An ex-school principal or a school superintendent who removes a page from a document that does not support his assertion that his reorganization plan will save as much money as he claims?

Just thought that everyone would like to know that I was informed today that Deb McManus will be at Bennett School on Thursday and on Friday Mr. Hamm will be there to talk to the kids. I was told that the kids want to talk to him. I believe I will spend the day with my child in class all day on these days. When is this gonna stop???? Where do we draw the line???
