The campus at Powderhorn Elementary School will be more crowded next year as students from Colorow Elementary move there next fall.
Colorow is one of 16 schools slated to close after the Jefferson County School Board vote Thursday night. Colorow, Emory, Peck, Thomson, Campbell, Peiffer, Green Mountain, Molholm, Glennon Heights, Parr, Sheridan Green, Witt, Vivian, Wilmore Davis, and Kullerstrand elementary schools will all close at the end of this school year. Bergen Meadow Primary will close in 2024.
Superintendent Tracy Dorland said all these schools have either low enrollment or low building usage compared to capacity. Many of them have both.
