Letters to the Editor - 11 2009 School closings - School closings

The Minneapolis School Board chose not to close Pratt School again. It seems they have never had a problem closing schools in North Minneapolis that had hundreds of students in them but can't seem to close a school in Southeast Minneapolis that has only 159 students. Then again North Minneapolis doesn't have the political clout of the Pratt neighborhood where former school board member Judy Farmer and former mayor Don Frazer live.
