A documented look at the Golden Springs Elementary gymnasium, the district response and the questions that still require independent review. Children should be able to attend physical education without their families wondering whether the room itself is working against them.

District 1 is primarily made up of western, central, and northern Anniston. Central and West Anniston alone account for roughly 54% of all animal-control calls, or about 1,400+ per year based on this analysis. That means the issue is not abstract here. It is concentrated, visible, and deeply personal.
