Vermont town moves to close elementary school
Residents ofPlymouth, Vt., have taken the first step toward closing their elementary school. By a vote of 63-50, residents approved a petition that authorizes the school board to provide education for the town's elementary students through tuition rather than the town's elementary school. In 1999, there were 41 pupils enrolled at the school. This year, there are 17. Plymouth is among 46 school districts in the state with less than 100 students, but only 13 of those districts operate their own elementary schools.
