Elyria school closings amid enrollment decline
The Elyria School District will close Erie and Roosevelt elementary schools after this year, with Cascade and Eastgate having closed previously, due to a drop of over 2,000 students since 1995-96. Seventeen remaining elementary schools will operate under capacity, saving 2.25 million and causing 23 teaching layoffs as part of a fiscally prudent plan.
