Show Notes
South Portland School Board votes to close James O. Kaler Elementary, reconfiguring schools into primary and intermediate setups. This reconfiguration aims to save $16.4 million over five years, but it also means hundreds of students relocating and class sizes growing. Despite the challenges, leaders see benefits like stronger grade-level teamwork and schools better matching the districts demographics. The district is hosting community meetings, forming a committee, and even planning to lease out the empty Kaler building to help with the transition.
