East Flora PTA to meet Thursday night over potential school closing.

The East Flora PTA will meet Thursday night at 6:00 in the school gym to discuss the potential closing of the school. If closed, the town of Flora would be the only municipality in Madison County without a school. The move would force students to be bussed several miles away.

East Flora Middle School serves 147 students and is listed as underperforming. Madison County spends $14,000 per student at East Flora compared to the average per student cost of $7,700.

Concerned parents and town officials met Tuesday night at Flora City Hall to discuss the predicament.
