Letter from J. and Staci Taylor

As we read these blogs, we have to say we agree with all. We also want to ask everyone in the Monticeto/Forrestridge neighborhoods not to forget about Southridge. We are fighting for your neighborhoods as well.

The schools in this area were a huge factor for us when looking to purchase our house. With the building of Guyer we were thrilled because we thought our children would get to go to all of their schools close to home. Also, get to go to school from K-12 with the same group of friends. The teenage years are such a rough time for most students and to be thrown into a new school with people they have never met before is crazy, especially at a time in their lives when their self esteem is so fragile.

Here's a question, does the DISD currently split the 4 middle schools to go to DHS and RHS? Or do they send the entire middle school to a high school?

A great point we read was from the Herr's, has anyone considered what this will do to the value of our neighborhoods and our homes? If we were just moving to Denton, we would purchase in the area of Guyer (of course, this is just our opinion).

We also agree with the Curran's letter. This issue also has to do with distance, facilities, and continuity.

With all of this being said, we are going to the meeting tonight at DHS and we hope to see everyone there.

Thank You,

J. and Staci Taylor
