The Board of Education meets today to decide the fate of Hawthorne and Dawes. What's your druthers? What's your prediction?
I think Hawthorne's fate is clear: it will close as an elementary school and be reused for another educational purpose. My guess is it will eventually house the Bryan Community, and perhaps other programs like the vocational assessment center. As far as I've been able to determine, those sound like good uses for the building.
The confusion swirling around the closing of Dawes makes that school's future uncertain. That is why I cannot support the school's closure at this time. The status quo may not be perfect, but at least it's a known quantity. School Board members are still far too wishy-washy on Dawes for me to trust them to close the school without unexpected long- (or even short-) term consequences.

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
Hawthorne will be repurposed, it looks like. I’m more worried about the English language program that was offered. Hopefully they can continue to do an excellent job in another location.
Share your thoughts with the community.
