Jeffco Public Schools Board of Education unanimously votes to close 16 schools in consolidation move

The proposal, which was presented to the district's school board in August, includes the following closures and consolidations:

The move would affect around 2,500 students and 422 full-time staff, according to the district. Families would be able to choose to move to the school that the district picks for consolidation or choose a different school. Staff at the new school will stay there, and staff working at schools that are closing will be able to interview for jobs at the new school and other schools within Jeffco Public Schools. The district says it will provide extra training and development opportunities this year to help teachers and other staff bolster their resumes at schools that have been picked to be closed.
