NEW VIDEO: Reactions varied after Dubuque school board OKs realignment, closure plans

The Dubuque Community School District board voted Monday to advance a school realignment plan that includes closures, with only one member opposing it. The decision followed more than 50 parents and students speaking against the proposal, citing concerns including transportation and students changing schools. Superintendent Amy Hawkins said the district is seeking to reduce spending by $17 million by 2030 after two failed bond referendums.
