1,000+ Sign Petition to Keep LES Open | Lewisboro Real Estate

-
Save Katonah-Lewisboro Schools reached a major milestone yesterday. More than 1,000 individuals have signed a petition to keep Lewisboro Elementary School open in 2014. The petition asks the Board to properly, fully and inclusively address all relevant issues of all stakeholders in order to serve the short- and long-term best interests of the community.

The Board of Education continues to refer a small group of families that are interesting in stopping the school from being closed. However, 1,000+ individuals is not a small group. Given that voter turnout for the last school budget vote was 1,926 votes, we view the petition to be a political mandate for the Board to suspend the current timeline in order to properly address all relevant issues.

Please sign this petition and ask local relatives, friends and neighbors to do the same, to ensure our voices are heard and we can influence the outcome of this process. The Board will hold one more public hearing on 1/16, with a final vote on 1/23.

Whether you have concerns about educational impact, redistricting, taxes, property values, impact on local businesses, or budgetary necessity, please attend the hearing and contact Katonah-Lewisboro School District BoE Members members directly to voice your concerns:

For doctors trying to reach their patients online, using Google+ can provide surprising marketing benefits that help them be more “findable” on the web. Consider that 44 percent of all Internet users search online to find information about health professionals, and suddenly the importance for doctors of having a good online presence should be more clear. In this article I’ll discuss three reasons why I think that, if you participate in Google+, the newest social network, you can improve the chances your name will come up when prospective patients search for something you’ve written about.
