News » Winneconne not alone in closing rural school

Mar. 16, 2010
Winchester elementary school is just the latest rural school in Wisconsin to fall victim to the state's funding system. That's the feeling of Miles Turner, the director of the Wisconsin Association of School Administrators.

On a 6-1 vote last night, the Winneconne school board reaffirmed its decision to close the Winchester elementary at the end of the school year. Turner says districts have to maximize their efficiency because of continued budget cuts.

John Ashley is with the Wisconsin Association of School Boards, and he says the decision to close a rural school can leave people with hard feelings.

The Winchester school was built in the 1950s, after that community agreed to join the Winneconne district.
