The Glendale Elementary School District is tentatively planning to close or repurpose up to five schools by the end of the 2022-23 school year.
The governing board read written comments and concerns from parents and faculty members during its meeting on Feb. 4. It also heard a two-phase timeline of closing, repurposing or changing the boundaries for schools.
Phase one of the proposed closures will be during the 2021-22 school year.
The board members said Isaac E. Imes and Melvin E. Sine elementary schools should close during phase one. Students from Imes would be reassigned to either Glenn F. Burton, Glendale Landmark or Harold W. Smith. Sine students would go to either Burton or Horizon elementary schools.
