"There is no evidence to suggest that school closures work. Despite what policymakers say to justify these mass closures, reports
have shown that the majority of student who are affected do not get

as a way for districts to save money in tough economic times, those
savings often fail to materialize and can in reality cost taxpayers millions in hidden costs."
