Nearly 1,000 Sign Petition To Keep Carver/Century Open
September 18, 2008
The Century Blue Ribbon Committee has hand delivered a petition to the Escambia School District asking the district to keep the doors open next year at Carver/Century K-8 School.
The town’s mayor, Freddie McCall, delivered the petitions containing just a few names shy of 1,000 signatures to the school board.
“I hope they’ll listen and keep our school open,” McCall said.
The closure of Carver/Century K-8 School by next year, if approved by the board, would save the district $680,000. Many of the town’s residents have strongly been against the closure, and the town formed the Century Blue Ribbon Committee to fight the closure.
The signatures were collected over the past few weeks at businesses, churches and other public locations in and around Century.

Good luck with the petition and keeping the school open. I remember when they shut down Ernest ward as a high school. We wrote letters and stuff but it didn’t help.
