The Star Tribune published an article online today: “Parents worry that east-metro schools face closure.”

Hundreds of parents are using social media, letters and phone calls to lambaste East Metro Integration District (EMID) school board members who are debating whether to close two experimental schools that political leaders once envisioned would end segregation as well as close the achievement gap.

Wednesday, at their regular monthly meeting, EMID school board members will winnow their options. Then, in November, they will make a final decision on how the district will proceed.
