Dear Editor,
Hmm. Let’s think this school closure through. If the district is at less than 95 per cent full, schools will be closed.
So, when a school is closed and the students must be transferred to a new school that is open. But to what conditions? All remaining schools that escaped closure are naturally going to operate closer to capacity.
Now, the kids have to walk, or be driven, a farther distance only to be stuffed into a portable because their “new” school is now overcrowded.
What’s the contingency plan then?
More Band-Aid solutions? Re-open the closed schools?
