After weighing several options, the county’s public school board has agreed to take a closer look at closing Terwilliger Elementary and sending its students to a new school farther west.
Five options were up to be finalized Tuesday night by the public school board to fill the future, yet-to-be-named Elementary School I near Southwest 122nd Street. Selling the Terwilliger Elementary School property was the latest proposal, suggested earlier this month.
“We have growth in the west, the sprawl in the west that is necessitating this,” said school board member Tina Certain. “We’re going to have to shift students around and we’re going to have to make some hard decisions. We’ve seen the financial analysis and it says that opening (Elementary School I) and doing nothing else is going to cause a significant strain on our budget.”
