Another smaller group of parents have also filed a request with the state to keep the school open

The petitioners claim that the financial report and demographic study that led to the district's decision was flawed, according to the article.

The Board of Education voted to close the school on Jan. 23. Superintendent Paul Kreutzer resigned from his position less than a week after the vote.

The petitioners reportedly maintain the school district is not under financial distress, despite the board's claims otherwise.
