EACS Board OK's Redesign Plan

By: FOX Fort Wayne News

Updated: October 5, 2010

The East Allen County School Board has just authorized closing six schools and reconfiguring most of the other schools in the district. It�s part of a major district redesign.

The board voted 6-to-1 to okay the plan.

In addition to closing schools, classes will be rearranged and new schools will be built.

The overhaul is expected to save the district close to $7-million-per-year.

Tonight�s vote was only for the final design, not how to get there.

The transition will be discussed step-by-step over the next several months.

While a few community members tonight spoke in favor of the plan, many stepped up to microphone to speak out against it.

Stay tuned to FOX Fort Wayne for the latest on this story.
