“… Discussion of fence installed by Options PCS, restricting access to public basketball court behind the school …”
Unbelievable, that school officials would restrict children from having access to a basketball court area. However, I have not heard Option PCS reason for this restriction. Perhaps, the court is being used for other activities. Then in this case, the proper authorities should be summoned and not closing off the court as a resolve. Calvin H. Gurley
