CHALLENGES OF EDUACATION IN RURAL SMALL COMMUNITIES; PARENTS RESTRICTED BY JURISDICTIONS.

Created by V.H. on December 27, 2012

Dear Mr. President Obama :

I am writing you on behalf of the Barbour County Schools. We live in a rural country town. My name is Valerie Hammond and I have 3 children in this system but honestly I have put in an application for housing in a better school district. My concern is for the children whose family cannot move. In my heart, I would love to stay in this district for two reasons. 1. I graduated from this school district. 2. Because Barbour County in Alabama voted for you and you won by 51.25% in this county. We turned out and we was clearly heard that we wanted you for our President another 4 years. It felt awesome when I looked it up on the computer and you had dominated.
