Editor’s CornerThe education landscape in Mar-

shall will be undergoing some rathersignificant changes in the comingmonths and over the next few years.For the past few weeks, we have

reported on the reconfiguration ofMarshall Public Schools’ three elementary schools, cul-minating in a three-year transition plan that will put theelementaries in a two-tiered model beginning with the2015-16 school year.About a month ago, the ad-visor&chronicle ran a piece

by MPS Superintendent Dr. Randy Davis on the possibil-ity that Albion Public Schools would close its highschool for budgetary reasons and become a K-8 districtwith Marshall High School and the Marshall AlternativeHigh School becoming the destination for high schoolstudents from Albion.On May 14, the Albion Board of Education voted to

close Albion High School and invited Marshall to con-sider being the destination of Albion’s high school stu-dents.MPS will hold a community forum on Wednesday,

May 22 at 6 p.m. at the Marshall Middle School Audito-rium to hear what local citizens have to say about thematter.The Battle Creek Enquirer’s May 16 headline, Race an

issue for Albion, Marshall left a bad taste in my mouth.Are we back in the 60s and 70s?Are expectations for this cooperative so low already?I’m sure there are some people out there in both com-

munities that are close-minded about the coming changesand are expecting everything to fall apart.But, I believe that we must follow the lead of our

school leaders and expect the best for our young people.Isn’t that what we, as parents, also hope for when it

comes to our kids?In this issue, Davis and Albion Superintendent Jerri-

Lynn Williams-Harper indicated that this matter is a win-win for both school districts and that they are asking ourgovernment leaders to set aside funds to support profes-sional development for teachers and administrators out-side of existing contract expectations on differentiated in-struction, curriculum diagnostics and working with di-versity in developing better understanding.Also, preliminary planning has been put forth in orga-

nizing a Youth Summit in the summer for high school-aged student leaders from both communities to developa shared vision of what our schools could become in thisnew cooperative.The piece concluded by stating that this potential col-

laboration and partnership between Albion and Marshallcould create a “diverse educational environment” forstudents from both communities to learn and grow.I believe this can only help better prepare our kids for

life in the real world, where they will meet and interactwith people from all walks of life whether they go to col-lege or into the workforce.We need to stay positive and optimistic and expect the

best of our young people; that way, great things can hap-pen - for them and for us.Until next week, may the good news be yours.

Marshall’s Michigan Week is May 16-22. Events include the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast,the Manufacturers Luncheon, Education Day, Tourism/Hospitality Day, Heritage Dayand much more. We asked these six people what they love about Marshall and Michigan.

Letters cont. to next page

Adrian VanOrder,Albion"I like Michigan because it's peace-

ful and nice. There's wildlife, and it'snot always cold or hot."

Chloe Taylor,Marshall"I grew up here. I like that it's a

small town. I like that it's a close-knitcommunity."

Word on the StreetWhat do you like about living in Marshall?

by John Hendler

Charles VanOrder,Albion"It's beautiful in Michigan. I've

lived here all my life."

Ericha Ayres,Marshall"There's a lot of history here, and

it's a safe environment for my kids togrow up in."

Lacy Janousek,Olivet"I like Michigan because of all the

tourist attractions up north. It's a greatway to vacation with your family ona budget."

Cheryle Scheidler,Battle Creek"My husband and I moved from

Harper Creek to Marshall to walk andbike and because of the historic qualityof Marshall."

Re-think the elementary school three-year transitionTo the Editor:I have attended almost

every Marshall PublicSchools Board of Educationmeeting since the elementaryreconfiguration was firstmentioned. Unfortunately, Imissed the most recent onMay 6 where Dr. RandyDavis gave his recommenda-tions to the Board. As a con-cerned parent of a currentMarshall elementary student(and another scheduled tostart kindergarten in 2015), Ihave several comments andconcerns with the proposedthree-year plan of transition.I understand that there are

serious budget issues in ourschool district, as well as

many others. Although I’mnot happy that teachers maybe losing their jobs and classsizes will be increasing, I un-derstand the need to makethat change.What I don’t understand

are Phases 2 and 3 of theproposed transition. I don’tunderstand how reorganizingthe grades in the currentthree elementary schools willsave any money. I foresee acommunity of upset parentsand children with all thechaos and cost of changingthe current configura-tion. Additionally, there willbe a transportation nightmarefor those families with multi-ple children attending differ-

ent elementary schools. Whyspend $50,000 plus to movearound all the classrooms,materials, furniture,etc? Why move the Sham-rock Center to Walters whenit was recently redesignedspecifically for the GordonElementary site? I simplydon’t comprehend spendinga significant amount ofmoney in order to possiblysave money.And if the decline in en-

rollment continues, the long-term plan seems to favorclosing one of the threebuildings. How does a two-tiered model work when andif that happens? Will stu-dents again have to be shuf-

fled around?I agree budget cuts are

necessary. However, pleasere-think the three-year pro-posed plan and focus on ouryoung children and their bestinterests. When I think ofmy current first grader andhow she loves her school,her teachers and friends...Ican’t imagine her having tochange to a whole newbuilding, with new teachers,administrators and supportstaff and possibly withoutsome of her close friends aswell.

Salena McDonald,Marshall

Thanks to Marshall for supporting Great EscapeTo the Editor:As the theatre producer, I want to

lead a sustained round of applause andthrow a stage full of roses to the castand crew of Great Escape Stage Com-pany’s recent production of On GoldenPond.From Fran Rauth’s nuanced and

lovely staging to Mike Kinter andGeorgia Marsh’s heartwarming andlived-in performances as Norman andEthel Thayer to the rest of the talented

and dedicated cast and backstagehelpers, area audiences heartily em-braced the show and ticket sales ex-ceeded our expectations. For thoseaudience members who weren’t able toget in - my apologies. Hopefullyyou’ll come back and join our loyalpatrons in seeing another productionthis year. And for those who partici-pated in our ticket stub drawing, PaulaHaybach was the winner of four tick-ets to the next show at Great

Escape. My sincerest thanks to thecommunity of Marshall, as well as thedowntown merchants, for makingGreat Escape continually feel right athome on Main Street.

Randy Lake,Marshall

It’s time for rational thinking by city council membersTo the Editor:Where is the money coming from

for hospital expansions?What will the hospital and City

Council do when historic Marshall is

an empty stage of faded memories?I don’t think any council member

can be right in their actions if he orshe does not consider their effects onhistoric Marshall when making their

choices. It’s time for objective rationalthinking by council members.
