This debate has been going on all summer. The argument could be made that the city of St. Louis had too many schools for the current population since the population shift has been to the suburbs. In fact many of them are in close proximity of each other and could be easily consolidated. And most of them are in dire need of renovations. Personally I don't think the closing of the schools will negatively affect the education of the kids, but I do see it having a negative economical impact because of the loss of jobs.
