Letter to the Editor and the Community: CMC hasn’t ‘bailed on BV’

by Community Contributor | Sep 9, 2019 | Letters to the Editor, Opinion | 0

“Last week, the Chaffee County Times ran an article entitled ‘CMC bails on BV, surprises Buena Vista schools.’…The article included several inaccuracies, including the direction of the decisions that resulted in CMC’s moving its administrative operations to Salida … CMC did not “bail” on BVSD, but rather attempted to help the district achieve its goal of delivering an educational benefit to the greater Buena Vista community.”
