School Board Approves the Closure of Prides Corner

PPH:

The School Committee voted Wednesday night in favor
of closing Prides Corner Elementary School, which would set in motion a plan to
reconfigure elementary grades throughout the district. The 6-1 vote was the
first of two needed for the school to close and the plan to move forward.
Committee member Jim Violette cast the sole dissenting vote, but said he might
change his mind before the final vote next month.
