Ventura Unified board puts plan to close schools on pause

Ventura Unified School District leaders have promised families that they will no longer close any of its 26 campuses next school year. During a Nov. 10 meeting, the five board of education members agreed to pause their plan to close schools , which was initiated roughly a year ago to avoid further layoffs amid declining enrollment and looming budget deficits. If the board does decide to close any campuses, they will not do so before the 2028-29 school year, trustees said. “We have put people through a rollercoaster of emotions and we have to own that, but I don’t think that moving forward just to not have people stay uncomfortable in the uncertainty is the right decision,” Trustee Sabrena Rodriguez said. The school closures advisory committee, made up of 23 parents, teachers, students and other volunteers, met eight times from March through October and ultimately submitted its list of recommendations to the board last month. The group did not recommend closing any of the district’s four middle schools or five high schools. Instead, the committee recommended Lemon Grove School as its top choice for closure, followed by Mound Elementary, Poinsettia Elementary, E.P. Foster Elementary, Sheridan Way Elementary and Junipero Serra
