Summary

The appellants seek reversal of a decision made by the Benton Community School District board to close an elementary school in Blairstown. They believed the district erred in its decision, because it disregarded specific enumerated factors.

They did not meet their very heavy burden of proof to show the decision was hastily made, or done in an arbitrary or capricious manner.

The local board's decision is upheld.
