Oak Lawn school to close?


Budget cuts could lead to the closure of an Oak Lawn school.

Brandt School has been used for years as a science center for the 3,000-plus students in Oak Lawn-Hometown School District 123’s seven schools. The building, 8901 S. 52nd Ave., also has classrooms for pre-kindergarten and early childhood classes.

A plan to close the building is up for a vote at Monday’s District 123 board meeting, set for 7:30 p.m. at Oak Lawn-Hometown Middle School, 5345 W. 99th St.

School officials were tight-lipped about the proposed cuts.

District Supt. Kathleen McCord, board president Joseph Sorrentino and Brandt principal Janice Carr did not return calls seeking comment.
