Which of the Four School Closure Options Works Best [POLL]

BOE has narrowed their consideration to four options.

Last Wednesday night, the WI Board of Education was officially presented with all school closure options the district Study Group has been considering.  From those options, the BOE narrowed their consideration down to only four. 

The four recommendations now being considered by the board include three options unveiled at the , which attracted upwards of 500 residents to the high school auditorium, and a new idea put forth on Wednesday. All four options include closing schools.

“The board is keenly aware that this is a difficult time and the closing of a school or schools will be an emotional time for many,” said Steve Gellar, president of the board of education. “But no decisions have been made and no building has been targeted for closure. This process will proceed publicly and thoughtfully.”
