Inglewood Unified Will Close 5 Schools – How Is Your School District Dealing With Declining Enrollments?
Manage episode 408968588 series 2411520
Inglewood Unified School District currently has 16 schools serving approximately 7,000 students, down from 18,000 students in 2002. Long troubled financially, the district has been in state receivership since 2012. In response to declining enrollment and significant debt obligations (the district owes the state $21 million), Inglewood Unified announced last week that it will close three TK-6 grade schools, Crozier Junior High, and Morningside High School. State-appointed County Administrator James Morris outlined these changes in a letter to parents, staff, and students, saying “These are not easy decisions to make. The time has come to make decisions. The data tells the story and the time for action is now.” Joining us to discuss is James Morris, county administrator of Inglewood Unified School District.
