Looks like
this thing will be dragged out another 3 years whatever the plan is, and the
beat goes on.
As part of
the recovery plan, Columbus Elementary School was closed over the holiday
break. Students will now attend Chester Upland School of the Arts or Toby Farms
Elementary School beginning Thursday. “Stetser Elementary School and the STEM
High School also are expected to be closed at some point by the beginning of
the 2013-14 school year. In addition to school closures, Watkins’ plan calls
for staff cuts and tax increases. It also requires him to develop private
funding to restore art and music programs throughout the district and to add
after-school, summer school and day care programs.” Receiver Joe Watkins wants
to hire a permanent superintendent and chief financial officer by April and about
70 staff and faculty are expected to be cut by next school year.
