Summary

The appellant seeks reversal of a decision made by the Ames Community School District to close Central Junior High School. She and other members of the community presented their concerns at one of three public hearings, saying the issue of closing the school was not studied adequately; they asked for time to offer another another cost-saving option and discuss it with the superintendent.

They reiterated the request at the board meeting before the vote was to take place. The board voted to proceed with the closing. There is no basis to overturn this decision.

The local board's decision is affirmed.
