My daughter is newer student at LEP, she has been there for just 2 months. I am so thank ful we have finally found an environment in which she can thrive again! This is a result of her knowing the teachers and staff truly care for the students. These students  were not having their needs met at their local high schools and do not want to return there, most say they will not. Closing this school is sending a message to 250 children, that they really don't matter as much as we say they do.
