Birth rate drop cited in Boston school enrollment decline
Boston public schools have lost about 18,420 students, a 19.6 percent drop since 1968, due to declining birth rates, outmigration, and desegregation busing. The Boston Municipal Research Bureau proposed closing 19 elementary schools to save about $1.15 million yearly and cut 69 staff. Final closings require U.S. District Court approval amid union opposition.
