Large-scale school closings unlikely in Washington, D.C.

From The Washington Post: It is likely that no more than a few of Washington, D.C.’s many under-enrolled public schools will be proposed for closure at the end of the academic year. Chancellor Kaya Henderson has warned that the system has too many buildings for the number of students it serves—it has more than 40 schools with fewer than 300 students. But any closures on the scale of the downsizing carried out by former Chancellor Michelle A. Rhee in 2008 is at least another year away.
