Closing under-used buildings could save the district a ton of cash on maintenance and staffing, potentially freeing up money for other school programs.
The district and taxpayers benefit from a more efficient budget that stops pouring money into half-empty buildings.
Families living near schools on the chopping block might lose their neighborhood hub and face longer commutes for their kids.
