Open forum: Support the Land Exchange; Build a PreK-12 School

July 20, 2023

To my fellow Virgin Islanders:

V.I. history is in the making. For the first time in several decades, St. John will be able to establish a PreK-12 public education complex. Governor Albert Jr. is on the correct path in promoting the Land Exchange between the National Park System (NPS) and the Government of the Virgin Islands (GVI) to make this goal possible.

Encourage all the Senators of the 35th Legislature to vote yes to the Governor’s land exchange proposal. This historic legislative decision is scheduled for Thursday, July 20.

Sincerely,

Verdel L. Petersen, “Crucian Educator“

St. Croix, USVI
