DENVER — The Denver Public Schools Board of Education voted Thursday to close three district schools over what it called “critically low enrollment.”
Some board members were emotional during Thursday’s meeting, taking breaks in between votes to gather themselves.The three schools were part of an initial list of 10 schools identified in October that DPS recommended for closure and consolidation.Each of the three schools has fewer than 120 students, with Denver Discovery School projected to enroll just 62 students in 2023-24.
Overall enrollment in DPS has fallen for three straight years, according to the paper, while elementary enrollment has been on the decline since 2014. The Denver Housing Authority released a statement objecting to the closure of Fairview Elementary, citing hopes for increased enrollment as residents move back into the redeveloped Sun Valley neighborhood.
