I have been thinking a lot about the school closure issue over these past several months as our neighborhood school, Hawthorne, is on the list for further study. As I have pondered the metrics and data that may be driving these decisions, I keep coming back to why I value my neighborhood school. Many of the things I love about Hawthorne might be found in the other schools in our district. But there is one thing that will disappear if Hawthorne, and its neighboring school Emerson, closes: a walkable school.
