Muncie OKs consolidating 2 high schools into 1 to save money

By The Associated Press / November 20, 2013

MUNCIE (AP) — Muncie schools officials are beginning work to consolidate the city’s two high schools following an emotional decision by school board members to close Southside High School. The board voted 4-1 Monday night in favor of turning Southside into a middle school and moving its students to Central High School, creating one school with more than 1,700 students, The Star Press reported. The move marks the first time the city has had just one high school since 1961 and comes after years of discussion, including contentious town hall meetings in which some parents of Southside students vowed to leave the city rather than send their children to Central. Ultimately, the decision to close Southside was determined to be the most cost-effective for the district, which has seen its enrollment fall by 183 students this school year and has struggled under reduced state funding.
