SCRANTON, Pa. — The Scranton School District's consolidation plans drew a crowd to John Adams Elementary School.
John Adams is one of the schools that would close in the two-phase proposal.
More than two dozen people spoke at the meeting, including teachers, parents, and students.
"They're resilient, but you're asking too much of them to go into a school with six hundred children. I think that's not wise, I think it's unhealthy. I am a huge advocate of health and movement, and please, I'm telling you, it is a wrong decision," said Marcia Johnson, physical education teacher.
The next town hall is next week at Charles Sumner.
A vote on the Scranton School District consolidation proposal isn't expected until January.
