jmrobbie, there are some perfectly good reasons they are closing those schools. They required the builders to build the schools before the houses, both wolf creek and morgan built an elementary school recently. Both developments slowed or stopped building so the school is only half full. Also, the demographics are slightly changing as a result of the foreclosures, many families with lots of little kids are being replaced by older people with older kids or semi retirees with kids on their own and people without kids. Redhawk and Jackson are older schools and the surrounding neighborhoods are 10-20 years old, so there are fewer elementary school aged kids, they are keeping the other three open. The 30k people that live south of the 79 dont really need 5 elementary schools in a three mile radius right now. They get credit for planning ahead and for making the devlopers pay the tab, but things changed as did the demographics of the new arrivals, there are a lot more people like dharma making their way here.
