SALT LAKE CITY -- Granite High School students are fighting against their school's possible closure. They held a rally to make people aware of a public hearing Tuesday night about it.
The issue at the core of the potential shutdown of Granite High is money. "We're looking at a $28 million budget shortfall, a $22 million cut from the Legislature," said Ben Horsley, spokesman for the Granite School District.
Horsley says Granite only has about 300 students and it's just not sustainable to keep it open as is, but junior student Pamala Carlson says the district can bring more students to the school.
"I think they should give Granite boundaries back again, and maybe more students would come here," Carlson said.
The decision on whether or not the school will close won't happen until at least early May.
