Closure of Jefferson School
The Jefferson School reopened during the 2020-2021 school year to accommodate COVID-19 safety requirements for K-6 students. It was planned that Jefferson was to reopen for one year only.
As COVID requirements lessened and things started to look semi-normal again, the School Board started discussing the permanent closure of Jefferson.Â
The main reason the closure has been highly recommended is because the district is facing $2.2 million in budget cuts for the 2022 fiscal year.
Keeping Jefferson open could require $200,000-$300,000 from the general fund, which would result in those funds having to be cut from other areas in the budget.
