Governor Haley and Staff,

I know that your office has been contacted on a couple of occasions concerning this issue,  but we are pleading with you to help save our kids.  Our school board has lied to us repeatedly about their reasons for making the consolidation proposal to close our mountain schools, and have kept us in the dark in every way they could in order to (presumably) get this horrible proposal voted through without a fight.  We have fought hard anyway, researched better solutions, made logical and fiscally responsible suggestions, but it ALL falls on deaf ears.  We sit baffled and confused and nowhere to turn.  We want accountability for these 6 individual board members who are about to change the entire landscape of our community to NO ONE'S benefit.

Mr. Tom Kelley has recently sent you a packet laying out the details of our dealings with the board so it is not necessary I do that again.

Thank you for understanding our concerns and desiring to see the same positive outcome for our children as we do.

Sincerely,
Joy Benoit
(mother of 2 and advocate for accountability)
