Lakewood Residents Trying to Keep Deaf School Out

Lakewood, Colorado residents are attempting to block the building of a Rocky Mountain Deaf School, in their neighborhood.

The ten acre plot is currently vacant, and was rezoned in June by the city council, allowing for the school to move in.

Homeowners in the area are against the school coming in, some wishing it to remain open space.

For the Rocky Mountain Deaf School the move would be an important change, as they currently meet in a strip mall.

Residents are attempting to gain three thousand signatures, on their petition, by August tenth.

If they can accomplish that, the city could be forced to put the decision up for a special city wide vote.
