The Denver school board is considering pausing any future school closures until closures that are underway are executed and plans for vacant buildings are finalized.
The proposal comes three months after the board voted in November to close or partially close 10 schools with low enrollment at the end of this school year. More than a year and a half earlier, the board voted to close three small schools in the spring of 2023.
The proposal doesn’t include a timeframe for a moratorium on school closures, though several board members floated the idea of two or three years during a meeting Thursday.
