From: 8bmsa Vauqbn <br /> To: Ramsey Planning;Nicole Laubad�Chn-m Anderson Brian McCann;Brian Ha'Qen <br /> Subject, pwcT Charter School <br /> mamo' Monday, February z1,zmz1:3o:s9 PM <br /> _ <br /> He||c\ <br /> Forgive me if this email ends up in the wrong spot, | could not find a definitive contact on the city <br /> mebsite- | am not able to attend the meeting on Thursday but | still wanted my opinion heard as| <br /> haweseen nnany negative cornnnents on the Rarnseycornnnundv page on Facebook and often Umnes <br /> negative comments can outweigh the positive. |was ecstatic when | received an email from PACT <br /> cha rte r a bo ut thei r ex p ansionand the opportunity for sonnany more kids tobea b Ile toattend. As <br /> |'rn sure you are aware they have a long wait list of kids wanting to attend the school but are unable <br /> to accept everyone. | know MANY families who have tried for years to get their kids into PACT but <br /> have been unsuccessful. This is the perfect opportunity for them to be able to reach more students' <br /> improve what they are able to offer studentsAND for Ramsey tofinaiiy have an option for high <br /> school. | desperately want toget my kids into PACT and am currently waiting to see ifmyoldest will <br /> be accepted into Kindergarten or if they will run out of-space before we get an offer. | have watched <br /> Ramsey build an obscene amount of housing in the past 5 years' packing people into the city like <br /> sardines but | have not seen anyihingof value added. | am sympathetic tothose who are in <br /> opposition tothe PACT carnpus, however | feel that rnany peop|e in Rarnseyare not in favorof <br /> change even if it is for the better. Most all of the negative comments are understandably from those <br /> who live in the neighborhood. | understand that they are concerned about traffic in their <br /> neighborhood' how/everthis isso meth ing that can and has happened in nnany cities. There are <br /> nnanyschools that are bui|t in neigh borhoodsand vvhi|e | get this is not ideal for those who |ivethere <br /> | would like to think that the city will take into consideration their concerns and work with PACT and <br /> the neighbors to come up with a solution to the increased traffic that will make this option a safe <br /> one to move forward with. | hope PA[T will be able to move forward with their new campus sothat <br /> Ramnseycaninvestin the futureof the chi|dren who |ivehere. Than kyou for yourtinne- <br /> Sincerely, <br /> All 'ya vat6n <br /> `^ `~ <br />
