Marion Board weighs redistricting to save costs
The finance committee urged the Marion Board to adopt a paired school plan reducing elementary sections and saving 12 teachers. Creal Springs would be K 8 with one class per grade, Jefferson with Lincoln as a 2 5, and Longfellow with Washington as a 2 5 pair. Osman urged using Creal Springs as K 5 to avoid higher operating costs and retain teachers. The board will review a new proposal before the Feb 21 meeting, possibly keeping four in town schools as K 5.
