Nether Providence school board opposes demerger bill in open letter
Five Nether Providence members of the Ingford Swarthmore School Board explain their June 23 open letter opposing House Bill 1111. They say consolidation followed public hearings and data review, and that a demerger would keep only separate schools at high cost and invite ongoing controversy. The letter, signed by David Deakyne, Nancy Graham, Robert Osborne, Mary Purcell and Sally Speaker, notes Swarthmore Elementary will close with students moving to Swarthmore High School and seventh and eighth graders also housed there. The board maintains consolidation is right and warns demerger would harm educational quality and raise expenses for both Wallingford and Swarthmore.
