Schools closing in Detroit

[GaryVoshol]

There are other High Schools on the list that will close at the end of the 2011 or 2012 school year. One of them is Finney, Team 3096. The old HS building has actually been closed and the students moved to a temporary building. The team met and built at the MEZ facility this year. I believe they are to be combined with another HS into a new or remodeled building.

The problem is that the Detroit Schools population has been declining as the city's population declines. There aren't enough students and money left to keep all the buildings open. The cost of heating, maintenence, etc for the building is the same whether it is full of students or mostly empty.
