Camden school closures: Wiggins, Sharp, Cramer and Yorkship to shutter in June

Three of the four school buildings are more than 100 years old and all of them need extensive repairs, district officials said. Renovations could cost about $10 million per school, but the district does not have the funding to cover that, according to KYW Newsradio.  The district is running a $40 million budget deficit that will continue each year if not addressed, school officials said. The district s debt could get as high as $400 million in the next decade. The impacted students will be sent to other district schools with higher-quality and newer facilities. Transportation will be guaranteed. These decisions are painful for you, they re painful for families, they re painful for the school community, they re painful for me, but there is a necessary pain that is needed that is temporary, Superintendent Katrina McCombs said.
