The Salt Lake City School District is currently studying Innovations Early College High School for potential long-term closure, Washington Elementary's Magnet Gifted and Talented program for closure, and Nibley Park School for possible grade-level reconfiguration. The district is committed to a thoughtful process that includes input from families, staff, and the community.
What’s Being Reviewed:
1. Innovations Early College High School (Innovations): Potential Long-term Closure
Innovations was designed to offer students the option to earn both a high school diploma and college credits—often up to an associate degree—while still in high school. It is situated on the Salt Lake Community College South Campus to allow students easy access to college courses.
Recently, enrollment has dropped significantly, and fewer students are taking advantage of college course opportunities at the SLCC South Campus. The district is studying whether the school is still meeting its original purpose and whether it should close permanently.
2. Washington Elementary (Washington) Magnet Program: Program Closure
Washington’s 4-6 Magnet Gifted and Talented program was a three-year pilot and is currently in its final year. The district is reviewing the program for permanent closure.
3. Nibley Park School (Nibley Park): Possible Grade Reconfiguration
Nibley Park currently serves students in kindergarten through 8th grade. The district is considering reconfiguring the school as an elementary school that would serve students in kindergarten through 6th grade, beginning in the 2026–27 school year. This is due to low enrollment in the middle grades, which makes it difficult to offer a full range of middle school courses and limits the academic and extracurricular opportunities available to 7th and 8th grade students.
What Happens Next:
For all three proposals, the district will:
The Board of Education may vote on the three proposals at the board meeting on November 18.
