The fact of the matter is that if you're not looking at the restricted budget, everything else basically comes out with revenue equaling cost. So there's absolutely no reason to close any schools, at least any high schools. They have already something like 11 empty campuses because student enrollment has been declining for 25 years. They're doing absolutely nothing with these empty campuses and they're proposing to make more empty campuses.

They are also proposing to close the one school that offers the International baccalaureate program. So this is a program that parents and families have intentionally chosen to send their kids to in an open enrollment system. And it brings people from around the entire district. The report basically points to them redirecting local bond funds. They, by closing certain campuses, can spend the bond funds on the beautification and renewal of their favorite campuses instead.
