This report in the Star Bulletin, makes a lot of sense. It saves money that can go into new supplies and repairs of schools.
IMO, there's no reason to keep a small school open just because of public outcry.
HT, what's your take on this?
Schools that could potentially be considered for closure need to be experiencing vacant classrooms and a drop in enrollment. Other factors include whether adjoining schools can accommodate the extra students without spending too much money to build more classrooms.
Moore said small schools that are having trouble enrolling students are more expensive to run and maintain.
But he acknowledged that resistance to a school closure can come from everyone -- from students, teachers and parents to alumni and the community.
