At a meeting Tuesday night, a recommendation was made to further study seven elementary schools within the Salt Lake City School District for possible closure.
The Board of Education heard a report from the Boundaries and Planning Director that recommended further study.
An email sent to parents after the meeting clarified that being included on the list does not mean the schools will close and the earliest a final decision would be made would be in December 2023 or January 2024.In a frequently asked questions page on the district's website, it states the decision to consider closing schools comes as student enrollment has declined nearly 29% in the last eight years, which is equivalent to a decrease of more than 3,000 students.
Many factors went into choosing what schools would be considered on the list as potential closure list, including enrollment, demographics, student safety, transportation, special programs, financial implications, neighborhood identity and more.
