St. Paul neighborhood fights to save Galtier school

With $484 million in capital projects awaiting approval, the St. Paul school board on Tuesday heard from an impassioned group of parents and students with a different vision.

They’re out to save Galtier Community School.

Two years ago, the elementary building in the Hamline-Midway area received a flashy renovation that the district and partners Target Corp. and the Heart of America Foundation celebrated in grand fashion. But enrollment is lagging, and Galtier is at risk of closure at the end of the 2016-17 school year.
