Olympia School Board member asks to delay school closure vote, see new reports

Members of the Olympia School District Board of Directors plan to call for a delay in the board’s vote to close three elementary schools and request that the superintendent present more data and prepare for recruiting and retaining students into the future. According to documents for the board’s Nov. 12 meeting, Director Renee Fullerton is proposing that the board postpone the school consolidation vote to Dec. 14 to “ensure all board members can make a fully informed decision and to allow for public comment…” Superintendent Patrick Murphy has said the closures are necessary amid declining enrollment and financial challenges facing the district, The Olympian has reported . According to previous reporting from The Olympian, Murphy’s proposal calls for moving students from McKenny Elementary into Pioneer Elementary and Centennial Elementary. Madison Elementary students would instead go to Roosevelt Elementary, and LP Brown Elementary students would be moved to Hansen Elementary and Garfield Elementary. The estimated recurring savings are about $3.1 million annually, according to Murphy’s plan. That’s $829,368 from McKenny, $1,122,856 from Madison and $1,076,618 from LP Brown. Murphy’s proposal says that closing the three elementary schools also helps the district avoid $136 million in modernization costs that would be needed
