SCARBOROUGH SCHOOLS ISSUES SURVEY
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
The School Board is conducting a short survey to better understand what topics matter most to our community and what conversations you’d like to take part in through future community roundtable discussions.
We’re also hoping to learn:
• How you prefer to engage with the School Board
• What barriers may be making it harder for you to participate
Your input will help guide more meaningful, inclusive conversations and ensure we’re creating opportunities that work for our community.
👉 Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts by completing the survey: https://tinyurl.com/SPS-SB-Survey
Thank you for helping us build stronger connections and better communication!

COMMUNITY VOICES: Laurie Alves – Wentworth teacher, parent of three Scarborough students

“I really love where I teach. I love this community (Scarborough): parents who genuinely want to be involved and love their kids. It sounds like a cliche but it’s true, we are a team. They want us to communicate and work together.

“From a parent perspective, one of the reasons we moved to Scarborough was the neighborhood schools. When my kids were going through their neighborhood school, I loved it. Because it really was true: They knew everyone, regardless of what grade they were in. They would see kids at the grocery store or beach and say ‘There’s Charlie! He’s in first grade, in Ms. So-and-so’s class.’ They were so connected to the community. Neighborhood schools are really powerful that way. It’s a sweet way for kids to start their education and to be in that close community. It’s important to have that connection.”

COMMUNITY VOICES - SCOTT MILLIKEN: “The proposed plan strikes an important balance. For those who envisioned a fully consolidated new school, this may not feel like the sweeping change they hoped for. But it is a pragmatic, effective solution that addresses urgent needs, respects Scarborough’s neighborhood school tradition, and does so at a fraction of the cost of the previous proposal. This is not just a compromise. It is a carefully considered plan that reflects Scarborough’s values, addresses our most pressing education challenges, and provides a fiscally responsible path forward.”

Kelly Mullen-Martin – Scarborough native, Blue Point Primary School Principal

“Education is so much more diverse today in terms of the services that kids need. That doesn’t just mean special education — but social-emotional support, academic support, kids that need to move their bodies. School is a more hands-on, dynamic place than it was back when I was a student at Pleasant Hill, sitting at my desk in a row. That’s the vision of school that people remember, but a lot has changed.

“Students now have a lot more autonomy for their own learning, which is a skill we really want them to develop. We want them to be creative thinkers.

“The spaces that our students are in now don’t fit what we are trying to provide them. We need to be infusing technology and giving them spaces — a calming space, as well as a space to collaborate and build and do hands-on learning. There’s no space for that. There’s no space for STEM. Then they get to Wentworth, and there’s a lot more opportunity, but really those opportunities should start earlier, in Kindergarten. That should flow K-12.”
