Reply to comment by doctornemo in Ripton wanted to save its elementary school. State officials saw an ‘overwhelming risk.’ by doctornemo

I just wish they would have been truthful with us from the start. I didn’t mind conglomerating schools because eventually all kids end up at a union high school so why aren’t we doing union grade schools? With enrollment going down we should really look to get rid of this wasteful system of districts

I think some folks made the cold calculation that closing schools looks bad politically, to communities, so they either said nothing or proclaimed they wouldn't do so... until they had the opportunity to shut them down.
