Rochester School Superintendent Lesli Myers-Small Tuesday presented a proposal for a flurry of school closures and mergers meant to address declining enrollment and realign grade levels.

If adopted by the school board, the district would close the all-boys high school at the Charlotte campus, Leadership Academy for Young Men and temporarily vacate the former Jefferson High School building at Edgerton Park and the Freddie Thomas campus on Scio Street. Five schools would close in total, all of them on various state sanction lists.
