SUMMARY: The Jackson Public School District conducted its first community forum to address concerns about potential school closures. The forum took place at Forest Hill High School and included students and parents from Wingfield High School. Wingfield is the only high school being considered for closure under the district’s optimization plan. If approved, students from Wingfield would be relocated to neighboring schools such as Forest Hill, Jim Hill, and Provine. Some parents and students oppose the merger, citing concerns about crime rates in South Jackson and the potential impact on younger students. The superintendent argues that declining enrollment and maintenance costs justify the plan.
