WorldPhoto: HT EducationUS Sees Highest School Closures Since Pandemic Amid Enrollment Drop
During the last academic year, 1,156 U.S. schools closed, the highest number since the pandemic, according to federal data analyzed by Big Local News at Stanford University. Declining birth rates and reduced education funding have forced many cash-strapped districts to shut campuses. Student enrollment is falling faster than school closures, indicating more financial challenges ahead. Vallejo City Unified School District near San Francisco now serves half the students it did two decades ago.
