This week pupils slammed the proposal to close their school.
It comes as a local councillor has said the decision on the future of education in North Kirklees should not be down to a handful of people.
Coun Paul Kane (Lab, Dews East) says the £200m Schools for the Future scheme is too big to be decided by just a small coterie of councillors in the cabinet.
Instead, he says, the decision should be made by all 68 Kirklees councillors. And he wants the Labour group leadership to put pressure on the Conservative administration to bring this about.
He said: "This is a massive investment of £200m. It is too big a concern to everyone for it to be down to just nine people.
"But we can't just sit and moan about this. I put my trust in the Labour group leadership to put pressure on the administration to bring this about.
"We only get a scheme of this magnitude once in a generation and we have to get it right."
The authority's position is that the schools scheme is a matter for the nine-strong cabinet rather than full council.
But area committees, they say, have a role to play by helping with consultation and passing on concerns or suggestions about the proposals.
Coun Kane, a member of Dewsbury area committee, said: "This internal piece of legislation is one of the biggest things we have done in the last 30 to 40 years.
"To complaints about the decision-making the council could say: 'Well, you voted for the cabinet system'.
"That's true. But we never thought it would be used to make such a massive change to the whole community."
Coun Jim Dodds, cabinet member for schools, said: "I note there have been specific reports and comments from councillor colleagues and I welcome their input.
"There is plenty of time for them to formulate their own proposals and I hope they will take the opportunity of discussing these with senior officers who can help and advise.
"It is important that any alternative proposals reflect the whole of North Kirklees and not individual schools and fit the overall financial framework."
