Some parents in the Salt Lake City School District are voicing their opinions following the announcement earlier this week about seven schools facing possible closure.
SALT LAKE CITY — Several schools across the state are facing potential closure, pending results of an ongoing study.
There are a lot of questions in the air for families, including what that means for their students and where they would attend if their school closed."This was just a recommendation. There was no vote. We won't know a final decision until December — or at the latest, January — so we still have a ways to go," said Yándary Chatwin, executive director of communications and community relations for the Salt Lake City School District.
From there, there will be multiple chances for the public to weigh in. So far, there has been a range of input.A main reason for this conversation in the first place goes back to enrollment, which, the district said, has seen a big decline over the last decade. They may have lost a third, but the district has also gained students and families during that timeframe.
