School Board Director, Ullery, Joins Support for Mattison Elementary

School Board Director Barbara Ullery joined Dick Stanton in support of saving Mattison Avenue Elementary School, according to a report in the Times Herald.

Ullery noted the parents preference to send their children to a smaller school as well as the negative term used at Shady Grove, "Mattison Kids."

Ullery also noted that "Stanton’s suggestion to offer to Ambler residents a choice whether their child attend Mattison or Shady Grove" to alleviate the overcrowding problem was a good idea.

Supporters of Mattison Avenue Elementary were also given a chance to speak in favor of the school.

The board is scheduled to vote on Mattison at their Jan. 14, 2013 meeting.
