We can no longer afford to maintain a comprehensive instructional program for all of our students in all of our schools. We expect enrollment to drop by 800-1100 students over the next five years. The greatest drop is in elementary school enrollment.
Funding is inadequate.
Our school facilities are old and expensive to operate. The School Board is appointing a committee to identify three to five schools that could be closed as soon as fall 2001. Applications are available at all schools and the 4J Education Center at 200 N. Monroe St. Deadline for applications is Friday, Oct. 6. Please call 687-3309 if you have questions. There will also be opportunities to talk with the committee and the School Board as we move forward.
