County council passes resolution in hopes of saving Clay High School

The St. Joseph County Council adopted a resolution Tuesday in support of Clay High School and Save Clay, a group dedicated to protecting the school which the South Bend Community School Corporation (SBCSC) voted to close in April.

The resolution, which passed by a vote of 5-4, called on Indiana Secretary of Education Katie Jenner to look into creating a new school corporation to serve unincorporated areas of St. Joseph County such as Clay Township.

According to the resolution, SBCSC has voted to close, consolidate, repurpose or merge ten schools in St. Joseph County during the past seven years.
