View this email in your browser Preservation Utah ENEWS Save Skyline High School  Granite School District (GSD) missed the mark by failing to provide an alternative option to the demolition of the mid-century era landmark Skyline High School. GSD is proposing a bond for November that includes building a new campus and has not seriously considered any options to rehabilitate a place of tradition, memory, and distinctive character that could serve the students and teachers equally as well in safety, security, technology, and providing a 21st century learning environment. GET INVOLVED NOW to help #SAVESKYLINE. Check out our letter to the school district on the Preservation Utah Facebook Page We encourage you to write your own letters and send them to: Granite School District Administration and Board Members 2500 South State Street Salt Lake City, UT 84115.
