Parents question plan for K-4 elementary center in Pennsylvania district

From The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: A group of parents wants Penn Hills (Pa.) district officials to re-examine their plan to consolidate students in kindergarten through fourth grade in an elementary center to open in 2012. They want the district to provide evidence that an elementary center with about 1,600 students will educate children as well as smaller schools. The elementary center is part of a districtwide construction plan, which also includes a new high school and improvements to Linton Middle School. The elementary center will be in two connected buildings on the current campus of Dible Elementary.
