Sustainable Shoreline passes resolution concerning future of old Ronald School

The future of the old Ronald School has been getting a lot of attention lately. The Shoreline Historical Museum seems to think it's going be forced out of the old Ronald School by Shoreline Schools (which owns the building), while Shoreline Schools says no decision has yet been made. Now "Sustainable Shoreline Education Association" (SSEA) is taking a public stance on the matter.

SSEA has passed a resolution concerning the future of the old Ronald School. The resolution was passed at SSEA's general membership meeting on May 22nd, 2009.

Here is the resolution in its entirety:


SUSTAINABLE SHORELINE EDUCATION ASSOCIATION
Resolution


Whereas the old Ronald School has historic value to the community, and


Whereas the old Ronald School houses the museum, and


Whereas the Sustainable Shoreline Education Association believes that

sustainability includes understanding our history, and

Whereas an important part of good education values history, and


Whereas maintaining a museum inside the old Ronald School provides

context as an educational tool, and

Whereas the Shoreline Historical Museum inside the old Ronald School

is a vital part of our community,

Be it therefore resolved that we, the Sustainable Shoreline Education

Association urges the Shoreline School District to fulfill their prime
directive to support education by retaining the Shoreline Historical
Museum inside the old Ronald School, a historically landmarked
building.
