At an emotional meeting, the Muncie Community Schools board voted 4-1 to close one of the district’s two high schools in an effort to cut costs.
The move will make Muncie a one-high-school town for the first time in more than 50 years, reports Indiana Public Radio’s Stephanie Wiechmann:
Beginning next school year, all high school students will combine into the Central High School building and Southside [High School] will become a middle school for grades 6-8.
Muncie Community Schools Superintendent Tim Heller told the public that the Central High School building was the only building large enough to house all of grades 9-12 in the city.
