For far too long, our City Council in Petersburg has neglected to realize that for a stuggle school to improve, the City must invest. Instead of studying the needs of our schools, our lack-luster Council members simple base our budget on what our neighbors spend, per child/pupil, not wanting to realize we are unique here and so are our problems. We are not our neighbors...they have succeeded with their schools...invested over the years in facilities, staff, technology...this is Petersburg...our schools are battling uphill and will need well more than our neighbors.
If you reading this and live in Petersburg, be sure to voice to our City Council, to "Put up more money for our schools or close them all down".
