STEP 4: Tell Your Neighbors

Talk with your neighbors.

Share this site on social media.

Share with your friends in ALL of OGSD's areas - this is a district wide problem. There will be future campus closures and what happens here sets a precedence for the entire district. Further, the current budget issues do not give us assurance that any funds from proceeds will be used responsibly.
