CLAWSON, Mich. - Parents of children in the Clawson School District received a surprise in their inboxes Wednesday, as the superintendent announced major changes are on the way. The district is considering several options: changing building configurations, closing a school, or merging with another district. Nearby Troy seems like the most likely district that Clawson would merge with. "I'm surprised, based on the fact they do have an open school district and many come to Clawson and don't necessarily live in Clawson," Maloney said. Among those families from out of town is Dawn Haggart, of Ferndale, who sends two children to the Clawson School District.
