DENVER — The Denver Public Schools Board of Education is considering new criteria for future school consolidation and unification following nearly a decade of enrollment decline.
The three schools were part of an initial list of 10 schools identified in October 2022 that DPS recommended for closure and consolidation. That list was whittled down to five schools in November 2022 and to three in February 2023.Under the policy proposed Thursday, the superintendent will not use enrollment minimums as criteria for consolidation, since most under-enrolled schools in DPS are located in historically marginalized neighborhoods.
"It's a great issue for us to be solving as a community. How are we supporting these schools that are now over-enrolled, over-projected? And I don't think I'm speaking out of term for any of my colleagues... but I would say we welcome anyone who wants to come to this district," said Board Vice President Auon'tai Anderson.
