Three Rivers committee puts off meeting

A committee considering closing schools in the Three Rivers district has canceled a meeting set tonight.

The Right Sizing Committee was to meet in Murphy to discuss possible closures of Applegate, Williams Elementary and Wolf Creek Elementary schools.

The district needs to trim nearly $1.2 million from the school district budget and has considered the school closures as a way of saving money.

Committee member Sandi Garoutte said the meeting was canceled because a Portland facilitator was unable to make the trip today. She said it had yet to be rescheduled.
