The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
I propose for the Martin Luther King Jr. playground to be restored. My youngest child has 3 more years left at this school after 2 of my sons moved on. It would be lovely for him and his friends to have a safe playground to play in.
Who it helps and why
It is only fair to have a safe playground just as every other schools have. Every students needs to be treated equally not mattering were they reside and their families income.
