Save Our Schools organizers say they are grieved and frustrated after a split Monday night vote to close Broken Arrow and Pinckney elementaries ahead of the 2024-25 school year. The closures trigger boundary shifts and redirection of about 390 students, with SOS accusing the district of offering few plans for safe routes, buses, and staffing while preserving wage concerns and open-enrollment implications.
