To the editor:

In response to the most recent letter from Bill Reed - 

Mr. Reed, what do you propose to make Westport schools better? We believe our town should provide quality education for its students.   Your continued questions do not talk about Westport as a community that must provide a solid educational foundation for students, but rather writes about Westport as though it is a Rubic's cube, constantly twisting the facts and turning from the question at hand to find another side of the puzzle.

As senior citizens in Westport, we want to be part of the educational solution and support the hard work of the Westport School Building Committee.  Westport has for too long turned its back on parents when it comes time to vote to fund education.  

How can you complain about the quality of education or parents making individual choices for their children if you do not stand up and insure that the old Middle School is demolished, temporary classrooms done away with and inadequate classrooms replaced with ones that provide 21st century learning opportunities. Public education is key to the strength of our democracy and a measure of values in our town.

Join with the town's elders to make Westport all it can be. 

Norman Buck
