Save Mountainview Elementary School

Mountainview Elementary is a community - we don't want the school and free after school program to close. Our school houses the District Programs which has the majority of the district's Special Needs kids, who would be detrimentally impacted by being redistricted to another school. We also house one of two free state licensed after school programs in our district.

Why is this important?

Mountainview Elementary is being considered for repurposing as a Boys and Girls Club when we already have established after school programs at every elementary school in the district. By repurposing this building, our children will be redistricted to other schools which will include longer bus rides, significant negative impact on the Special Needs children, and a further loss in the districts student population by parents relocating to Albuquerque because they can't afford after school care or enrolling their students in the charter school.
