(KLZA)-- Another major change for the HTRS School District. Superintendent Sherry Edmundson says this will be the last year of classes at Table Rock.
The Humboldt-Table Rock-Steinauer School Board voted unanimously Monday night to close the Table Rock School site, that houses students in grades 5 through 8. Approximately 110 students are attending classes at the site this school year.
Edmundson asked the Board in February what information they would need to make a decision on whether or not to close the Table Rock site. While she was a bit surprised by the vote taking place this soon, she said the quick decision will be helpful. By making the decision now, it will give administrators and staff more time to plan on how classrooms will be utilized and what renovations need to be made at the Humboldt site.
There was little input during the meeting from patrons. Edmundson said less than 10 people were at the Board meeting Monday night. Board members said they had been contacted individually about closing the school.
HTRS has operated with a site principal at each location. Superintendent Edmundson says for now, the plan is to continue with two principals. She said that if enrollment projections over the next 5-years are correct and the numbers decrease, a change could be made later.
In February, Edmundson said decisions would need to be made on a number of high-dollar maintenance items at the Table Rock site including the boiler.
At this point, no decisions have been made on what will become of the schoolhouse in Table Rock in the future.
