Save Our Schools began as a grassroots movement in response to the closure of two elementary schools. However, as we've delved deeper into the situation in Lynchburg City and the numerous challenges our school system faces, we've realized that all our schools are at risk. They may not all be at risk of closing, but they are at risk of being underfunded and overcrowded due to budget constraints. Additionally, nearly every LCS school requires significant repairs or renovations, yet they have been excluded from the city's Capital Improvement Plan and its strategic plan for the next 20 years. Save Our Schools is expanding its focus to include the betterment of all LCS schools and there will be some changes coming.

The initial changes you will be seeing are the changing of our logo and broadening our mission because this isn't just about two schools—it's about all our students, families, and the Lynchburg community.
 

To every parent who has come out so far, thank you. Your dedication is deeply appreciated, and we are grateful to have you in this fight with us. We invite everyone else, no matter which school your child attends or if you are just a community member, to join the movement towards better-funded schools and a healthier, more educated community.
 

As one of our amazing principals said, "We do it better when we do it together."
