Lowes parents turn out for school board meeting

LOWES — The Graves County Board of Education opened its meeting Thursday to a crowd of Lowes community members, who turned out in support of their local elementary school.
The community’s families appeared in droves to ask the board to consider all options before deciding whether to close the ailing elementary school and spread its student body to other schools in the district.
Jamie Sears Rawlings led the charge, saying many of the families are considering enrolling their children in McCracken County should Lowes Elementary ultimately close its doors.
“What I’d like to say is that you guys have all personally promised the county and the Lowes community, really many times, that we would get a new school. And we’ve waited patiently for that,” she told the board. “We ask now that you open up more lines of communication with the LPC (Local Planning Committee), with yourselves — the board — with the KDE (Kentucky Department of Education), and the taxpayers of Graves County, so that we can work together to find a solution that betters the community, that doesn’t limit us and growth, and it doesn’t hinder the education of our children.”
