Austintown schools will close Davis building

AUSTINTOWN — The Austintown Board of Education voted 3-0 to close Davis Elementary at the end of this school year.

The board will meet at 6 p.m. March 18 at the board offices in Austintown Middle School to discuss how to redistribute the pupils from the five kindergarten through grade 3 schools into one less building.

Uncertainty about ramifications of the consolidation caused two of the five board members to abstain from voting, but 3-0 was sufficient for approval of the measure, board members said.
