worth it to keep those 2 schools open to keep all the activities to make sure that it was fully operational instead it will shut down at the end of this year. so the clock is ticking and all of the parents and sdents who show up to the list of those 2 particular schools and then at the end of the year. the students and the parets still get oriented to the other get to know them and then e here's the good part though no layoffs despite all the budget problems that they're facing the teachers they will be transrred to the other schools as well because let's face it the students still need attention. the school district says that they will move to maybe newer schools bigger classrooms, and in those classrooms will allow them to incorporate new educational take for the students and let's face it we all went to school of course at one time or another right so some schools might be a little bit further some schools may be a little bit closer so the students who probably live next city schools will not be happy. but
