Jeffco Public Schools parents who learned their child's school is among 16 elementary schools that may close next year shared their concerns during a meeting at Sheridan Green Elementary Friday. via bayanwang
DENVER — Sixteen elementary schools within JeffCo Public Schools could be closed and consolidated into nearby schools next school year because of declining enrollment in the district.
"The vibe is,"This is a done deal. This is what's going to happen. There will be approval in November,"" said Raven Faber, whose children attend Sheridan Green."So that's not a recommendation. That is the plan in this case." According to Lisa Relou, Jeffco Public Schools chief of strategy and communications, the closure proposal is due to the decline in student enrollment rates for 20 consecutive years, which has impacted school budgets.
Another reason for the proposed closures — students leaving Jeffco Public Schools. District officials say the number of parents who enroll their children in schools outside of their neighborhood elementary school has increased over the years.
