Board members delved into the plan more thoroughly during a May meeting and a retreat last month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe State Board of Education believes this is the first step in providing more opportunities and strengthening education for all students enrolled in Missouri Schools for the Severely Disabled,\u201d Board President Mary Schrag said in a news release. \u201cThis decision is not taken lightly but will result in a more efficient program that enriches quality resources provided to students and their families.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The following schools will be required to close by the end of June 2026: Briarwood in Harrisonville, Citadel in Potosi, College View in Joplin, Crowley Ridge in Dexter, Delmar Cobble in Columbia, Dogwood Hills in Eldon, Gateway\/Hubert Wheeler in St. Louis, Lakeview Woods in Lee\u2019s Summit, Lillian Schaper in Bowling Green, Ozark Hills in Salem, Prairie View in Marshall and Rolling Meadow in Higginsville.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Six of the schools were already under \u201ctemporary emergency closure\u201d because of staffing issues, impacting 61 students. The other six buildings set to close have a combined enrollment of 64 students and were at risk of emergency closure, Mark Wheatley, the department\u2019s assistant commissioner of special education, told the board.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The change comes as MSSD struggles with declining enrollment, with 36% fewer students over the past 16 years, and $50 million in deferred maintenance between 34 school buildings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A consultant hired by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/missouriindependent.com\/2025\/05\/14\/missouri-unveils-plan-to-transform-program-for-students-with-disabilities\/\"><span>called the current program \u201cunsustainable.\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>Over the past two years, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dese.mo.gov\/media\/pdf\/lrpac-member-list-101824\" target=\"_blank\"><span>committee<\/span><\/a><span> has worked with consultants to give the program a direction.
