Comments on: School review panel recommends closing O’Connell http://lakewoodedge.com/2009/12/15/school-review-panel-recommends-closing-oconnell/ News and events in Lakewood, Colorado Thu, 28 Apr 2011 17:14:01 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Edie Bryan http://lakewoodedge.com/2009/12/15/school-review-panel-recommends-closing-oconnell/comment-page-1/#comment-379 Edie Bryan Tue, 22 Dec 2009 18:44:24 +0000 http://lakewoodedge.com/?p=2079#comment-379 Thanks for the article on the closing of O'Connell school. You are the only news source that actually told what would happen to 7th and 8th graders in the O'Connell area. What would they do with the present O'Connell school? Leaving a big building like that empty is a recipe for graffiti, break ins, and other undesirable activities. O'Connell is in the center of where its pupils live so a move to some other middle school would require a long bus ride. Putting them at Alameda High School would require some planning. No one wants that age group all mixed in with high schoolers. Is there enough room for them to have a separate space? from Edie Bryan, parent of 4 grown children who attended O'Connell & Alameda Thanks for the article on the closing of O’Connell school.
