Hope To Retain Present School In Spring Creek
Parents in Spring Creek Township urged the Carry Area School District board to delay the Spring Creek school closing until a new facility is ready. They argued current teachers and class sizes deliver strong education including music and physical education, and warned against two bus routes for two years. The district cited deficiencies, notably lack of a library, though supporters noted library access via a bookmobile. The board plans to close the Spring Creek school at term end.
