Both of my daughter's attended Coburn Elementary and thrived there. Now my son who will be in kindergarten this coming year would be going to Coburn Elementary.  If Coburn closes I will be pulling my son out of the Battle Creek Public School system this has truly been a heartbreaking decision for my family. I am sure many others will be pulling their children out of BCPS system also. It is ill advised to close any more schools in this area. Children need individualized attention (some more than others) my younger daughter fell into this group Coburn supported this. Sticking more children into already crowded classrooms is not what is in the best interest of any of our children or our future. The dollars they are hoping to save by closing schools will only be lost by losing more students to other school districts. Closing schools is not a way to generate income it will only hurt in the long run.
