KEEGO HARBOR According to Keego Harbor resident David Emerling, there was a “huge amount of uproar” when people learned that the West Bloomfield School District was considering closing Roosevelt Elementary School, which at over 100 years old is the longest continuously operating school building in Oakland County.
The district may opt to go from its current five elementary school configuration to four, with either Roosevelt, which is located in Keego Harbor, or Scotch Elementary School in West Bloomfield being the most likely to close.
