Locals say goodbye to Marysville school after 74 years

MARYSVILLE — Former teachers, students and staff members at Liberty Elementary School in Marysville took one last walk through the hallways of the 74-year-old school on Thursday.

Marysville School District’s board of directors voted in January to close the elementary school, along with Marysville Middle School, in an effort to cut costs amid serious budget difficulties. The closures will go into effect at the start of the 2025-26 school year.

The board also voted to move Legacy High School, an alternative high school in the district, to a different campus, but walked back that decision in March.

Because of the closures, the district held an event this week, along with another at Marysville Middle School, to give community members a chance to look through Liberty Elementary one more time.

1. That is really sad. I had relatives living there who I regularly visited.

They were on the right wing of the current MAGA crowd but we could still talk about family, guns, dogs, etc. (I don't do guns, FWIW)

I wonder how much of the decline in neighborhood small schools isn't fed by the anti-education trend that has been promoted since at least the New Deal and probably since warlords and kings ruled the lands.
