The school board will vote on a proposal to turn downtown Sorensen Elementary into a magnet school for the arts and humanities. A magnet school is one that draws students from all over the district and even the region because of its focus. If it’s approved, the school will stay open. If it’s rejected, however, the school won't necessarily close. That would require a separate vote of the board. I'll post the vote results on the blog when I get back from the meeting -- Meghann Cuniff/Spokesman-Review.
