Fate of Judy School in Limbo as district debates closure
In Garnett Anderson County the Judy School east of town faces possible closure this fall after petitions to close the one room school were received by Unified District No. 365 officials. A recent board meeting passed a closure resolution, citing taxpayer savings, with nearby schools offering transport. Patrons seek signatures and state guidance, while a June 10 meeting voted to keep the school another year amid questions over vote validity and unification laws.
