Tonight’s Springfield school board meeting has been moved to a larger location… to accommodate the big crowds who are expected to come out to talk about proposed budget cuts.
The board’s agenda for tonight includes proposals to close the Capitol College Preparatory Academy, consolidate two elementary schools and move their students to the Feitshans (FIGHT-shuns) building, and scale back operations at Iles and Ball Charter schools.
Instead of the normal school board meeting room, the meeting will be held next door, in the cafeteria of Grant Middle School on West Monroe, starting at 7pm.
