I would like to apologize to Mayor Stephanie Scott for using the word “appalled” in my letter to the editor. Though alarmed at Scott’s suggestion that Mosquito Lake School could be disposed of and sold, I regret that I may have caused Scott to feel discouraged or attacked. I do hope she will forgive me. I agree that a plan to reopen Mosquito Lake School with an enrollment that provides for full funding is a worthy and desirable outcome. I welcome the opportunity to speak with our new superintendent Ginger Jewell about how supporters of Mosquito Lake School might encourage and assist the school board in seeking this solution. Our schools are among the most valuable facilities within our community. I hope our borough assembly will support both the time and resources needed to chart a path for the reopening of this worthy school.
