How can your school shut down?

Answer 1

There are several reasons for a school shutting down:

• Major damage such as a fire, cyclone or flood may cause temporary or permanent closure
• A major, serious epidemic may cause a temporary closure
• If it is a government school, and the government wants to reallocate the land to another construction project, the school may be shut down
• If the school building is in danger of collapsing or contain hazardous materials
• If numbers have fallen to below a viable operating figure, the school may need to be shut down. This can happen in either the private or public sector.
• The government may have some idea that it is better to amalgamate the school into another existing school - in which case that school becomes superfluous and is shut down.
