The Nampa School District board approved the closure of four schools at its meeting on Monday night.

West Middle School, Snake River Elementary, Centennial Elementary, and Greenhurst Elementary will close at the end of this school year. Central Elementary, which was being considered for closure, will remain open. The decision differed from the original district proposal, which suggested closing Central Elementary and either Greenhurst or Centennial. The decision passed in a 3-2 vote.

Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining"!
