We, the parents of current and future children attending Clements High School (CHS) and residents zoned to FBISD, petition FBISD to move the Global Studies Academy (GSA) from CHS to a different school. Moving the GSA will address and solve the following.
-
CHS was a very high performing school prior to the arrival of the GSA. The presence of the GSA in Clements has only made competition more intense than before.
-
The GSA has failed to uplift the school but, rather, has simply acted as a portal to move high achieving students from their respective schools into CHS.
-
The increased academic pressure from this situation is forcing our children to drop otherwise beneficial extra-curricular and volunteer activities.
-
CHS was already a crowded school and the arrival of the GSA has only served to make this problem worse. Although the school is not at capacity, there are other schools running below capacity. These schools would benefit from the added number of students.
Moving the GSA will allow the students to experience high school fully, expend time and energy outside of pure academic pursuits, and serve our children better in building a foundation for their lives.
