Some of you may have heard that the Governor of Indiana has decided that to save some of the state budget money, the Indiana Soldiers and Sailors Home (otherwise known as Morton Memorial) should be closed. Aside from the approximately 188 jobs that will be lost if this happens, over 120 kids who have not been able to make it in public school for various reasons in the past will be forced to return to public school again or worse in some cases.
Please do me a favor and sign the petition to Governor Daniels asking him to reconsider closing the school! Currently my Sister-in-law Karen is working at the school and many years ago my Grandmother worked there. This school has students from across the state and they need a place to get an education and get on the right track. I'm adding a hyperlink with the website where you can sign. Thanks for helping gather more signatures to "Save the School"!
