The Granite school district is set to close three elementary schools at the end of the school year after conducting a 10-month-long study of nine elementary schools on their declining populations.

HOLLADAY, Utah — The Granite school district is set to close three elementary schools at the end of the school year.

“It was a huge gut punch in September when we were told we were on the list of possibilities to close by the end of the school year,” said President of Millcreek PTA April Flores. A spokesperson for Granite School District Ben Horsley said diversity and transitions for students were at the forefront of the conversation when analyzing which schools to close.

“I encourage the plan,” said Longstaff, “The way that we fund schools by property tax or by general taxes in general, schools are funded by how many students they have. And Spring Lane is a dwindling population.”

These are the 3 elementary schools that Granite School District will closeFaced with dwindling student enrollment, Granite School District moved Tuesday night to close three elementary schools. Granite has a pattern of closing schools against the wishes of a community. Then blighting property for years and sell to developers for housing. Everyone protests at first.....but after some prostitution, drug deals, homeless camps and eventually fire a neighborhood caves. Guess the idea of smaller class size was just only ever talk.

Editorial: Denver’s school district cannot afford any more distractionsThe Denver Public School Board’s future is rocky, and we would be remiss if we did not also say publicly that Director Auon’tai Anderson’s decision to run for office again only forecasts rough seas… Parents need to start calling out teachers and the teachers union.
