SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake City School District says they have seen enrollment at their elementary schools decrease by 30 percent over the past decade.On Saturday at Glendale Middle School, the district held its second information meeting about its population and boundary study. The seven schools that could face a potential closure are Emerson Elementary, Hawthorne Elementary, M. Lynn Bennion Elementary, Mary W. Jackson Elementary, Newman Elementary, Riley Elementary and Wasatch Elementary.

Chatwin said the initial committee that recommended these seven schools looked at 16 different factors, including student enrollment. Chatwin said 32 schools — K-12 — were closed in the district between 1964 and 1979, and it has been more than 20 years since an elementary school was last closed down.
