[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have too many elementary schools in one area due to geography. I would be more pissed as a taxpayer and parent if they didn’t repurpose facilities they had instead of cutting a completely different type of facility or spending tens or hundreds of millions for something new.

Madison used to be an elementary school. We can’t fully predict demographics and closing schools leads to them being taken over by county for other uses and never returning them. [/quote]

Closing a school does not have to lead to APS turning it over to the county. [/quote]

The APS superintendent of facilities recently said they will never again give away school facilities to the county like they did in the 70s and 80s when the population bottomed out. APS will likely use vacated schools as holding schools when there are renovations elsewhere. Some parents who grew up here may remember Long Branch and other schools used Reed ES (now Cardinal) when their buildings were under construction in the 90s and 00s. APS may also create new elementary option programs. [/quote]
