Back to School at Walker

Walker Elementary School students were back in their own classrooms recently after major repairs were finally finished at the school. The issue of whether or not Concord’s school system should consolidate its elementary schools have been a hot topic during the last two years, including this year’s school board race. One side believes that the historic schools should be preserved, with a more intimate neighborhood setting. The other side believes that larger, more modern schools are more conducive to learning and success, with resources more fairly and evenly distributed throughout the system.
