Members of the “Save Eastside Tacoma’s Historic Gault School” group (https://www.facebook.com/SaveGault) are holding a community meeting open to the public on Saturday, Oct 14 at 1PM at the Moore Library (215 S 56th St). The goal of the meeting is to organize, advocate, and plan for the preservation and repurposing of the historic school as a community center. The meeting was prompted in response to the announcement made by Tacoma Public Schools declaring its intention to demolish the historic school. Located in Tacoma’s McKinley Neighborhood, Gault Middle School is part of a larger group of schools including Stewart and Hilltop Heritage (Jason Lee) that were built in the 1920s. Many of the schools in the group are on the city’s historic register. Gault, however, is not.

Where: Moore Library (215 S 56th St)
When:  Saturday, Oct 14 at 1PM
Why: To organize, advocate, and plan for the preservation and repurposing of Gault Middle School
Who: Open to the public
