Michael Petty+FollowDenver schools face tough choices as enrollment dropsDenver Public Schools just lost over $6 million in funding this year, all because fewer students are enrolling. That’s on top of the seven schools closed and three restructured last year to save money. The district’s enrollment has been falling since 2019, with rising housing costs and lower birth rates making it harder for families to stay. Now, DPS leaders are hinting at possible changes to school boundaries or even more closures. For families and staff, these shifts could mean big changes in where kids go to school and which neighborhoods keep their local schools. What do you think DPS should do next? #Education #DenverSchools #Community00Share
