“This will disrupt my entire life,' Pima Vocational High School's future to be decided

But at Tuesday's Pima County's Board of Supervisor's meeting, the doors could be closed for good.“This will disrupt my entire life," says Amy Larson, a parent of two PVHS students.

According to a recommendation made by the Community and Workforce Development Department, closing the school will save the county $600,000.“It is heartbreaking, because we are there every day, because we love them,” says Lasca Lawniczak, a teacher at PVHS. “I certainly would like to see the school remain because I think it fills a need in this community for those who are underserved,” says Mary Fellows, President of the Governing Board of PVHS.
