 I can't imagine that building a new school, scattering students, and demoralizing our community is more effective than restoring an old school that has been serving the community for decades. That's Deborah Allen, a teacher in Concord, voicing her concerns over the decision to demolish Beverly Hills Elementary. It was the first school board meeting in about a month, but attempts to save the school continuing in the weeks since. A lawsuit's meandering through courts.
