FAIRFIELD — Parents, students and teachers are organizing a fight against a school board vote to close Sullivan Middle School, calling it another attack on the city’s poorest students and a cut that can be avoided.
“We’re just really frustrated,” said LeRoy Purvis, the parent of a Sullivan graduate, current student and an incoming student.
This week, “Save Sullivan” began a petition drive that as of Tuesday afternoon had 380 signatures. People signing the petition left notes as well.
