At the legislative subcommittee June public hearing in Chatham, Chatham Hall President Gary Fountain spoke about how competitive it is for prep schools like his own to recruit students.
The very perception of Chatham as the location of uranium mining, he added, could be damaging to recruitment and to the future of the local school.
President Fountain's warning has the same application to Hargrave Military Academy.
I urge the faculty and staff of both institutions to actively join the effort to educate the public about the uranium threat and to contact members of the General Assembly asking them not to end the current moratorium on uranium mining.
The future of Chatham Hall and of Hargrave could be at risk.
