Denver Public Schools (DPS) has approved a tight timeline for deciding on school closures, allowing limited community engagement. The district will hold six regional meetings in September and October to discuss declining enrollment and the need for closures. However, the specific list of schools proposed for closure won’t be released until November 7, after the community meetings, with a board vote scheduled for November 21. This short timeframe leaves just two weeks for targeted discussions with affected students and families. The district, facing declining enrollment and high housing costs, aims to finalize decisions by January, before families select schools for the next academic year.
