Story

Denver Public Schools is considering school closures due to a drop in student population despite an increase in migrant student enrollment. The school board seeks community input to consolidate and close schools to maintain financial viability. They aim to close schools without using standardized test scores as a condition for consolidation. Declining birth rates are a significant factor in the enrollment decrease. Virtual community meetings are scheduled for June 6 to gather feedback and survey responses from families. More details are available on the DPS website.
