The Boise School District says it could close a number of schools, convert others, and revamp which grades attend high school and junior high as it faces declining enrollment.
The district rolled out a number of proposals during virtual and in-person meetings this week it called “The Future of Boise Schools.” Meeting invitations didn’t hint at the scale of the proposed changes, but did note that final decisions have not been made.
