The Norfolk City Council has voted to request the School Board to develop a plan to close 10 schools due to declining student enrollment and financial constraints. A consultant previously estimated that the school district was operating with more schools than needed and that closures could potentially save up to $20 million in 2022. The resolution requires the School Board to submit an action plan by August 1 proposing closures and consolidations of schools starting before the 2026-2027 school year.
