Leaders of the Indianapolis public schools district have called for four elementary and four middle schools to close next year. Superintendent Eugene White has cited the district's declining enrollment as the major reason for the school closings. "Because we're in a situation where we're getting less money from the state, because we're losing students, we have to make every dollar count," he said. The district has had roughly 1,000 fewer students in each of the past several years as families have left for charter schools and nearby districts. It currently faces a $20 million budget shortfall.
