Apart from the school bus, other factors that schools may consider include the ability of parents, students, and staff to safely negotiate local roads, conditions in the school and its capacity to ensure the health and safety of students. In any county, the conditions may vary, which could mean that the risk to school bus services and school opening may not extend throughout the county.

It's Time to Start Preparing Now for School Closures that Are Coming (The 74)

Daly: Districts should invest time and resources in helping families transition. New Orleans offers a model for what to do.

[cut the list to five](https://co.chalkbeat.org/2022/11/10/23452617/denver-school-closure-five-schools-temporarily-spared). Give families a real voice in determining their child’s new placement — and offer assistance in the pursuit of seats in charter schools, as well as traditional district schools. Families requested and were assigned to higher-performing schools than students in comparison groups, and they were more likely to remain in those placements over time. This preference increases the likelihood that a student will land in a desired school rather than being defaulted to whichever school has excess capacity, as happens in many districts. The board ultimately [did not vote to close any schools](https://co.chalkbeat.org/2022/11/17/23465364/denver-school-closure-no-vote-school-board-alex-marrero) and sent Marrero’s team back to the drawing board. [Just 60%](https://www.wfyi.org/news/articles/ips-addresses-enrollment-decline-too-many-schools) of the available placements in Indianapolis are occupied. Shifts in Boston have left the district with the equivalent of [16.5 unused school buildings](https://www.bostonschoolsfund.org/enrollment-2023). Essentially, if a vacancy exists, a student from a closing school has the first opportunity to claim it. Districts would be well advised to make closure decisions early and as judiciously as possible — and communicate to families how and why those decisions are made. But there comes a point when it is no longer responsible to consume an outsized share of scarce public resources to provide subpar educational experiences in near-vacant schoolhouses. Its fiasco began in June 2021, when the school board passed a resolution directing district leaders to address declining enrollment. Denver Public Schools recently provided a high-profile example of what not to do.
