Position Papers
Closing Schools to Save Money? Think Again!
The real cost of closing schools should be measured by how many students fail to thrive in our large schools. We have the largest elementary schools in the county. Is it any wonder our test scores are low? Small schools promote higher achievement. Higher achievement produces more high school graduates. What is the true cost of closing schools?
