DCPS explores plan to close several schools as enrollment dips due to charter, private school migration Currently, the district has a proposal on the table to close nearly 30 schools. It’s part of a plan to save money amid the rising costs and shrinking enrollment. As of now, no decisions have been made, and they won’t be made for a while.“Despite the conversations around these consolidations, we have money to build new schools. And that’s the point, to push and get students into schools that are innovative and transformative for themselves,” Willie said.
