Closing Schools?
I am hoping that the mayor is referring to Conte Middle School's impending absorption by the elementary schools which has been on the drawing board for the past few years:
Nearly every community is "going to see blood," said Mayor John Barrett III of North Adams, who expects to "limp through" June but anticipates having to close one or more schools and lay off a significant number of city workers after that.In regards to schools, shutting down one of the elementary schools would be a huge mistake. I hope that this is not what he is suggesting. ¶ 2:24 PM
