COLERAIN TOWNSHIP, Ohio-The Northwest Local School District board approved a plan to merge Colerain and Northwest High Schools, replacing Colerain High with a new facility for both student bodies. This move is met with mixed reactions from parents, some expressing concerns about longer commutes and larger class sizes.
Superintendent Darrell Yater acknowledged potential increases in class sizes but assured efforts to maintain favorable student-teacher ratios. The plan also addresses the renovation needs of Colerain Elementary and Colerain Middle Schools. Yater emphasized that funding remains a crucial consideration before any implementation through a bond issue.
