The Dallas County School Board is considering closing three of the school district’s six elementary schools.
Board Chairman William Minor says the board is discussing the possibility of closing Salem — BK Craig — and JE Terry elementary schools.
“The board has not made a decision yet to close either school. We have commissioned a group to do a feasibility study,” said Minor.
“If the feasibility study comes back and says we should close those schools, then the board will get together collectively, meet with the community and then make a decision.”
Minor says student population continues to drop in the school district. And as a result — the district has too many school buildings — and too few students.
