now of course we want to give them input on future campus and want to keep them around. but from a technical perspective this would be like relocating a public elementary school. a elem school principal or board is not capable of holding leverage as they have no power over any outward facing policy.

This is… not a reflection of our public policy process at all. Any and all public policy movements reflect a variety of input and it isn’t just from our elected representatives. Our elected representatives almost always seek input from stakeholders in the form of committee meetings, other official work, during fundraising, in their offices, in private negotiations, and in their informal networks. Deaf people, their proxies and cultural institutions, the administration of the school, faculty and staff, parents, and others are almost certainly going to be given a huge voice in the process by our elected officials themselves in any future planning for the site.
