The district decided to close schools because enrollment figures have dropped by 1,200 students since 1997 and were projected to continue to decline. Last week, the Highline School Board approved a plan based on recommendations from a citizen task force. Under the plan, three elementary schools will close in June: Sunnydale, Salmon Creek and Olympic Intermediate. North Hill Primary’s kindergarten through third-graders and Olympic’s fourth- through sixth-graders will move to a new building next fall. Salmon Creek students will be reassigned to Hazel Valley, White Center Heights or Mount View. Sunnydale students will be reassigned to Marvista, Gregory Heights or Cedarhurst. A fourth elementary school, Valley View, will close in June 2007 and move into a new building that fall with students from Bow Lake Elementary. Students affected by the boundary changes have until May 13 to ask to be transferred to another school.
