Facing enrollment declines that accelerated in the fall of 2020, Salt Lake City school board members have begun the process of evaluating schools for possible boundary changes or closures.
The agenda for the board’s Tuesday meeting includesto Gadson by Paul Schulte, the district’s executive director of Auxiliary Services, on Feb. 17. He suggests evaluating 14 elementary schools in five clusters, based on the age of the buildings, enrollment, their utilization and proximity to other schools. Franklin Elementary school is the only school listed in multiple clusters.
The next step described in the procedure is for the board to approve an official study list, and then from March to May, district staff would meet with representatives from each school. From May to June, an options committee — convened by Gadson — would develop a list of suggestions it considers viable, for presentation to the board in July.
School board members are not expected to comment on Schulte’s list during their Tuesday meeting, Chatwin said. His suggestion to evaluate the schools in clusters allows the board to consider the impact that closing one school would have on others around it, she added. Several of the schools on the new proposed list were evaluated in 2019 by a committee of district employees and parents. The group suggested the closure of M. Lynn Bennion Elementary, located near downtown at 429 S. 800 East.
