• Rdale update: FAIR School Crystal might close too (hometownsource.com) — Robbinsdale Area Schools are weighing major budget cuts that could close FAIR Pilgrim Lane Elementary and shift its students to FAIR School Crystal, sending current FAIR Crystal middle schoolers to Sandburg or Plymouth Middle School. To save on transportation, Robbinsdale Spanish Immersion, Sandburg, and Plymouth Middle would add some Spanish courses while magnet middle school options are largely eliminated, changes that could significantly reshape options for Plymouth families.
