Hyannis school board closes Ashby school
Published Friday, February 20, 2009 at 02:03 PM
The Hyannis School Board Friday night voted to close the attendance center.
The vote was five to one.
On February 9, the Hyannis School Board voted 5-1 not to pay for an estimated $30,000 in upgrades required by the State Fire Marshal's office to keep the center open. However, at the request of the parents of the Ashby Attendance Cener, the board held a special meeting Friday night to reconsider its earlier vote.
Hyannis Superintendent of Schools Mike Davis says the Ashby Attendance Center is a K-6 school with 12 children. The district employs three full time teachers, a half time Para-Educator and a part time custodian in Ashby. Davis says the district is spending roughly $140,000 a year to operate the Ashby building.
Davis says the K-6 students who attended the Ashby Center will be able to utilized bus service from Ashby to Hyannis next year.
