Loloma conversion could avert school closure plan
Loloma School may convert to a special education facility to stave off closure due to enrollment dropping to 369. School Supt. William Randall urged about 40 parents that the plan could become a community lighthouse while warning the current staff size cannot be sustained with state funding. The school board will review the proposal next Tuesday with a March vote likely. Dr. Al Scharf described a centralized concept uniting 2500 district special education students at one site, potentially involving Scottsdale City, Memorial Hospital, and the Scottsdale Foundation for the Handicapped in a cooperative arrangement.
