Franklin Board Votes to Close Hunter Elementary
About 200 people filled the Franklin High School auditorium for a Franklin Board of Education meeting after last week's defeat of an emergency operating levy. The board approved closing Hunter Elementary, discussed a tax issue for an August 2 special election, and faced heated exchanges as Superintendent Kim Gray warned of 300 000 to 350 000 in further budget cuts for 2005 06. Gray projected extracurriculars would cost families about 850 per sport, and said no past cuts would be reinstated. Public comment was delayed until after business.
