Despite a surge in the enrollment of migrant students this year, Denver Public Schools continues to experience a drop in the size of its student population.
The school board is asking for community input as it plans how to consolidate and close schools.
The school board says it’s necessary to close schools to keep the district financially viable and to re-allocate limited resources.
As proposed “guardrails”, the board wants the Superintendent to consider schools of any size and not to use standardized test scores or school performance ratings as a condition for consolidation.
