PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

June 30, 2011

Press Release:

Friends of Valdosta City Schools, Inc. (FVCS) will be holding a Press
Conference on the steps of Valdosta City Hall (216 E. Central Ave) at
10:00 AM on Thursday, July 7, 2011 to formally announce its
opposition to the current effort by the “Community Unification for
Educational Excellence” (CUEE) group to Consolidate the Valdosta
City School System with Lowndes County School System. We are
inviting all citizens of both Valdosta and Lowndes County who support
the opposition of Unification/Consolidation of the school systems.

Sam Allen, Chairman

229-244-8268

They have a

facebook page.

While I think FVCS is making one of CUEE’s mistakes in thinking
this is all about Valdosta, FVCS’s event is something I can get behind.
Maybe FVCS will even come out with what they are for.
