Decision on school closing at least two months off

The Winona Area Public Schools Board will be holding public hearings before deciding which, if any, schools will be closed in the district. At its meeting last night, the school board discussed several options to help the district operate more cost–effectively. While issues like attendance boundry lines remain options, officials wonder if the end result would bring any actual cost savings. For the past several years, the school board has toyed with the idea of closing Central Elementary, but has always found a reason to keep it open. Possible public hearings on the issue could be scheduled in December and January.
