The Farmington Public Schools district is going to get smaller due to a shrinking student population and revenues.
The school board voted Tuesday night to close or re-purpose three schools, Mark Hicks of The Detroit News reports:
The board approved closing Harrison High School for the 2019-20 academic year; closing Dunckel Middle School and establishing the Highmeadow Common Campus as a K8 Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) Academy there with 2017-18; and relocating preschool programming from Farmington Community School and Alameda Early Childhood Center to Highmeadow for 2017-18.
The News reports that enrollment dropped 12 percent since 2000 and revenue fell nearly $15 million from 2006-14.
