There are no plans to close Carter HS. The only high schools struggling for enrollment are Madison and Roosevelt. They lack students for their size due to the lack of adequate family housing in their neighborhoods.

Also, more people would voluntarily send their kids to those schools if they offered a special program, something unique. I wish they would invest money in VOCATIONAL EDUCATION at those schools. Not all kids want to go to college, and it is a sham to plan your curriculum around it. Those Ph.D's don't teach these kids. To be a mechanic or a plumber is nothing to be ashamed of--and they make more money than teachers do!
