In mid-November, students in grades 4, 5, and 6 were moved to Brunflo after an acute teacher shortage arose. A decision was later made that the 22 students would remain at Kastalskolan for the rest of the school year. Now, a proposal from officials suggests closing grades 4-6 in Fåker already now.

The specific reasons or data supporting the officials' proposal to close grades 4-6 in Fåker have not been disclosed. It is also unclear how many students and guardians were surveyed, and what percentage constitutes the 'majority' mentioned in the proposal. The timeline for a final decision on the proposal remains unknown.
