Closure Affects School oard Sue Doggett Laura Kimball l T l l Dr. Phillip Gates, Superintendent Theresa McDade. Asst. Superintendent 132 School Board Anne Hickie Probably the most important issue that hasfaced the school board this year was the need to close one of the Scottsdale districts high schools. Declining enrollment forced the board to consider the closure of either Arcadia High or Scottsdale High. The board held open public meetings to get the opinions of both parents and students as to which school to close. After careful delib- eration and messages from some Arcadia alumni like Steven Spielberg and Lind Carter, the board decided that the closure oi Scottsdale High School would be appropriate. The students that went to this school will be bussed to other Scottsdale schools and they will try to continue their education as if noth- ing had happened.
