Our Community Is Under Attack

Our schools and community are under attack. They are being attacked by Lansing, by the economy, and most unfortunately by some of our own community members.

 

Over the past year, numerous community members have spent hundreds of hours participating in the Bloomfield Hills School District collaborative policy effort. Every one of us that has purchased a home in the Bloomfield School District was influenced by its reputation for excellence.


But now, our schools and community are under attack. They are being attacked by Lansing, by the economy, and most unfortunately by some of our own community members.

Some community members have taken the opportunity to participate
in a collaborative process resulting in value-driven solutions brought on by
these various attacks and elements. The unified and renovated high school will provide student and operational efficiencies needed to preserve our school system’s high performance. This process will, in turn, preserve our
community and our property values.

As Americans, we have the pride of living in a country that invented the automobile, the airplane, put the first man on the moon, endured
significant hardship in war and economic times, and has met every challenge
head on. We always want better for the next generation than our own and we
recognize that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one.

What legacy do we want to have for the Bloomfield Hills School community and our neighborhoods? Do we want to simply be a set of individuals living near one another or a community that sacrifices for each other while striving for greatness?


Please join One Bloomfield United, a grass roots organization dedicated to having solution-based conversations, supporting value-driven solutions that preserve academic opportunities for all students, and aiming to nurture our community’s sense of pride and prosperity.
