From The Minneapolis Star Tribune: The Minneapolis school board has voted to close North High School in 2014, but also debut a new North High in 2012. The onus now falls on North High supporters to do something the district couldn't -- attract and retain students at a school where enrollment has nose-dived almost 80 percent in the past five years. Supporters must recruit 125 eighth-graders to North High by the end of March or the deal to admit a new class in 2011 is off.
