WISNER, Neb. (AP) — Church members say increasing operation costs and sluggish enrollment numbers led to the impending closure of Zion St. John Lutheran School and pre-school near Wisner.
The school has only four students in kindergarten through eighth grade, plus two preschoolers. The 2014-2015 academic year will be the last for the school.
The congregation of the Zion St. John Lutheran Church voted in October 2014 to close the school. The building will continue to be used by the church for large events. School items will be auctioned off or used at other Lutheran schools.
