Abstract

School Closure in the United States is steeped in educational policy and has historically been associated with declining student enrollment, limited financial resources, and consolidation of schools and/or districts (Tyak, 1974). Since the early 1980’s, an increase in neoliberal and neoconservative ideology reflecting market-driven reforms has resulted in educational policy grounded in standards-based curriculum, high-stakes testing and school choice.
