After 30 years of outstanding service, Granite School Board has turned its back and walked away from Head Start staff and families. In doing so, members have performed a great disservice and injustice to everyone involved. Maybe they were not in favor of this change; but it seems they gave up without a fight.

They said their decision not to renew their delegate agreement was made with the interest of the parents in mind. Did they ask even one parent how they would be affected? No. To say we are disappointed or angry is a major understatement. We feel abandoned by this change.So as I say goodbye to this wonderful program, I wish to pay tribute to the incredible people at Granite Head Start who have so richly blessed my life. Hats off to all the family advocates, the teachers and aides, and all of the other specialists and staff. You have touched so many lives and will never be forgotten. I am a better person for my association with you.
