In the end, they could not ignore the writing on the chalk board when faced with the facts: Shrinking enrollment, stretched budgets, and the challenges of meeting modern educational standards in an aging, expensive-to-maintain building that in just three years will turn 100.

The one hang-up for the two members who voted against the decision was the timing of the closing.
