Leaders say they'll save about $200,000 every year.

Parents are concerned. "If the Haskins Elementary should close, there is a very good chance that I will probably look to another district to put my children through. And I think there are other parents who feel the same way," said John Roeser, a parent of Haskins Elementary students.
