West Michigan school districts are beginning to consolidate and close schools as student enrollment declines. This week, Grand Haven Public Schools became the latest local district to announce consolidation of its elementary schools and updates to their early childhood programming in the face of declining enrollment and future enrollment projections.

Penn State's president Neeli Bendapudi said the closures come as the university faces financial pressure and declining enrollment.

Penn State University says it must close a number of its branch campuses across the commonwealth, but it won’t know which ones will close until the end of the current semester.

Abington, Altoona, Behrend, Berks, Brandywine, Harrisburg, Lehigh Valley and the grad program at Great Valley.
