Good morning, Chandler.

At a Dec. 2 board study session, principals from Centennial, Aprende, and Pueblo middle schools voiced concerns about closing up to seven schools, saying the move could lead to teacher burnout and larger classes (and stretched responsibilities) that might hurt the quality of education.
