In your example there was probably a strong District Finacial Officer and a Superintendent standing behind them telling them what Had to be done. It appears that this teacher and her peers didn't have such effective support based on the superintendent's quote.

Actually, the Superintendent is weak. But here is what happened. A few days after the vote the newspaper reported that the now useless school building had been sold to a church to expand their elementary school. Many of the town leaders are members of the church. It was obvious that the papers had been drawn up and the deal agreed to prior to the council vote.

I'm a firm supporter of home schooling and private religous instruction. However the closing of a fine school that led the district in many categories, and its subsequent sale, stunk pretty good.
