The Garland (Texas) school board has voted to close and revamp Memorial Preparatory School as part of an overhaul of the district's education programs for at-risk students. The school serves 200 sixth- through eighth-graders with low math and reading scores. Memorial will close after its current sixth-graders graduate in 2010. The school will reopen that fall as a nontraditional middle school for students at high risk of dropping out.
