Boulder Valley School District Proposes School Closures

The Boulder Valley School District has proposed closing six schools and consolidating four buildings due to declining enrollment, as the district currently has more seats than students.

Specific closures include Birch, Douglass, Mesa, and Flatirons elementary schools, while Monarch Elementary is slated to convert into a middle school under the new district plan.

The school board will continue discussing the proposal throughout the fall, with potential changes affecting hundreds of students and requiring new staffing and transportation plans for the next year.
