School closing discussion, part 4

In this segment, School Board Annie Woodward expresses her concern that most of the schools on the list for possible closure on on the north side.

"Every school has a story," Superintendent William Andrekopoulos said. "There's some on here if I would have done it by stories or something I probably wouldn't have put it on the list, but we wanted to do it without having a story, without any subjectivity. We wanted to do it strictly objectively, by the data."

He added: "Some of these schools that are low academic achievement are the very schools where we put extra resources in...not only did we put in additional financial resources but we put additional personnel in these schools. We have worked very hard to improve the performance of the schools."
