If the two schools were to close, the district would have to reconfigure the grade structure.
A state report from the Department of Civil Rights suggests that the board should delay the report.
In earlier reports, seven schools were on the list of possible school closures:
- Barnes Early Childhood Center
- Kerby Elementary School
- Stevens T. Mason Elementary School
- Poupard Elementary School
- Robert Trombly Elementary School
- Lewis Maire Elementary School
- School administration building
With the help of the committee, they took a poll to see which schools should close.
The results:
- 67 percent voted to make Kerby Elementary an early childhood education center, then Barnes Early Childhood Center would close.
- 74.5 percent said Stevens T. Mason Elementary should be closed over Poupard Elementary.
- 59 percent said two south end elementary schools should be closed.
