Colorado's Adams 12 district approves closure of 6 schools

What happened

The Denver-area district said enrollment fell faster than projected, part of a statewide trend as housing costs rise and birth rates drop. The closures affect students and staff in the district.

Why it may matter

• Approved, so it is now going ahead rather than being proposed.
• Useful if you are trying to get into university or find an internship.
• Affects students in the US.
