School District 57 gave its three final readings to officially close Giscome Elementary School.
This was during Tuesday night’s public meeting, where Trustees unanimously passed each reading.
Before the final reading, Trustee Shar McCrory said while it isn’t great to close schools, this instance had community support.
“In this case, it was to benefit the students, and I feel that when we were at the public meeting at Giscome School, that we had the support of the community and the parents to make this move with the wellbeing of the students in the focus.”
Trustees made the decision to close the school in late April, after it had been seeing a decline in student enrollment.
During the meeting, Trustees also discussed its Food Infrastructure Program request.
