SUMMARY: The Jackson Public School District held a second meeting at Callaway High School to discuss their optimization plan, which involves closing down or consolidating 16 schools within the district. The district cites a decrease in enrollment as the reason for these decisions. Class size is being taken into consideration, with an average of 12 students per classroom currently. Some attendees expressed concerns about smaller classrooms and believe efforts should be focused on getting students back into Jackson Public Schools instead of closing them down. The next meeting will be held on November 6th, with a final plan expected by December 5th.
