I am writing in support of the unified school project in Scarborough.

I recently came across a letter to the editor that suggested that temporary solutions, while not perfect, would “buy us a year while we figure out a better solution.” It’s important to note that this school project was originally conceived in 2014 and since has undergone numerous rounds of thoughtful proposals. The process has consistently included opportunities for public input, participation and suggestions at every stage. Any assertion to the contrary, which aims to generate fear or uncertainty, is misleading.

We are now faced with a decision that calls for us to support what the town and school believe is the best solution to address the multifaceted and complex challenges our students and staff are and will continue to face.

Please join me in showing support for our teachers, staff and students by voting “yes” on Nov. 7.
