Deputies voted to close one of the four Guernsey secondary schools
Politicians have voted to cut the number of state secondary schools in Guernsey.
Architect of the plans, Deputy Gavin St Pier, said cutting four sites to three offered a better financial and educational deal for the island.
The plans will now be subject to a final vote on Tuesday when the education debate continues.
Education Minister Robert Sillars told the chamber the plans were "catastrophic".
Politicians voted in favour of the closure by 27 votes to 18 in a debate on Friday that went on into the early evening.
It has not been decided which school would close if the plans go ahead and a timetable for closure has not been set.
