GLENDALE â The Glendale Elementary School Board met again Thursday afternoon to continue the discussion of a phased-in approach to re-configuring school structures within the district to meet budgetary demands that come with declining enrollment.
The school district has 17 schools that spread across much of Glendale, West Phoenix and into neighboring cities. The primary reason for the reconfiguration is due to declining enrollment.
District officials say theyâve seen a steady drop over the past six years and now with COVID-19, those numbers are dropping even more significantly.
