If misery loves company, supporters of Elmhurst High School should find plenty of it in school districts across the state, where $297 million in education budget cuts have placed more than 30 schools in line for closing. That’s no consolation to the high school juniors who will likely spend next year adjusting to a new routine instead of enjoying senior year in a familiar setting.

But the reality of a $15 million permanent reduction in funding leaves Fort Wayne Community Schools with few choices. By multiple measures, Elmhurst and Pleasant Center Elementary are the most likely candidates for closing. An angry session at the high school Wednesday might have proved useful for venting, but it likely changed not a single mind. In the end, there’s work for everyone.
