School Board President Charles Day told LoHud.com that a recent straw poll taken by board members suggests that there is a good chance the measure will pass and the school will be shuttered.

Demographers have presented reports that forecast the districts population to decline by 25 percent over the next 10 years, according to LoHud.com.

The preliminary vote will be held on Thursday, Dec. 19 with a final vote scheduled for Monday, Dec. 23, according to LoHud.com.
