Ohio school district may bring kids back to save money
March 5th, 2009From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
A school district in the Cleveland area has come up with a novel way to save money. It plans to convert an elementary school with low enrollment into a school for kids with emotional disabilities, and bring back up to fifty students who are now being sent to programs outside the district.
The plan is expected to stir controversy, but could save the district $1.25 million annually. “If I had my druthers, I wouldn’t want to do it. But we have to be responsible to the taxpayers,” said superintendent Joffrey Jones.
