SUMMARY: The Board of Trustees is considering closing or consolidating 16 schools due to a decline in enrollment, facility issues, and staffing problems. Superintendent Dr. Errick Greene emphasized that the closures are not based on performance. The district has lost over 9,500 since the 2015-2016 school year and has over 400 staffing vacancies. Closing or consolidating the schools could save the district over $17 million per year and $174 million in renovation costs. There are concerns about merging Wingfield students with Jim Hill or Forest Hill due to potential increases in violence. Safety of students is a top priority, and the board is still making changes to their plans.
