   Isn’t it infuriating that these are two of the schools they plan to close? Well, they didn’t say “close” but that it will be “co-located in a new Specialty High School”. What does this mean?

   Yes.

   They should be updating the building, not closing the school.

   The program should be replicated, not “co-relocated”.

   I have spoken to the School Board and the decision to “close” these schools is purely to save money, with no other factors taken into account. And, as I understand it, the only way to really stop it from happening is community outrage.

   Is anyone else as outraged as I am? We need to stop this from happening.

   I am outraged. I bring it up whenever I can. More people need to.

   What about Open High’s PTA and alumni?
