Boulder Elementary future uncertain

Parents are worried that cash-strapped Garfield School District may close its tiny Boulder Elementary as a cost-cutting measure. The five-member Garfield School Board is meeting April 15 for an executive session and at approximately 6 p.m. in an open meeting at Antimony Elementary School. The board plans to discuss its budget for the 2010-2011 school year. Boulder Elementary has just 10 students in grades K-6. But if the school is closed, the children will have to be bused to Escalante, which is almost an hour's drive. The Deseret News
