The proposal has been hit with some backlash from parents who say closing the schools - particularly Bridgepoint, will unfairly impact low-income students. Parents have started a petition to save the school. Jeffersonville Mayor Mike Moore said the proposal was "disappointing" and said he was firmly opposed to the closures of any schools in the area. "Together, we can find a better way. One that keeps our neighborhood stronger and puts kids first.," Moore said in a statement. The district is planning to ask for the school board's approval during their meeting on Jan. 26. It's unclear if an official vote on the plan will be taken Tuesday.
