An Orleans Parish School Board committee approved the superintendent’s proposal to close Mahalia Jackson Elementary School in the spring of 2018 because it’s not on track to meet the district’s enrollment goal.
The decision effectively ends the effort of a new charter group that applied to take over the school, although the group is still in the running for three others.
If the full board ratifies the decision Thursday, the city will have at least one traditional school next year.
Tuesday’s committee left open the possibility that Mahalia Jackson could remain open if a charter group takes it over for the 2018-19 school year.
