Denver Public Schools has recommended closing 10 schools in response to declining enrollment.

If approved by the school board in two weeks, the closures and restructuring will affect 1,844 students and 267 employees.

Public comments will also be limited to the school’s students, staff and families, according to the district’s website.

The superintendent packaged the consolidation as a larger part of DPS’s efforts to respond to falling enrollment and prevent what he has called “a full-blown crisis.”

On days with severe weather, school closures and government office closures will be updated throughout the day.
