Recently, the school district I work for (the same one I attended as
a child) decided to close three of its elementary schools. The
administration and school board have been working on the budget issue
for quite sometime. Last school year it was announced that the best
solution was to close a few schools, since paying salary and running a
building are a districts biggest costs. As the process got closer to
being final, a local uprising occurred (visit

The push to reevaluate the situation and keep the schools open was a big one. However, it wasn’t big enough.
