School closures

During the summer of 2008, the El Rancho school board voted to close four elementary schools (Pio Pico, Obregon, Selby Grove, Meller) in order to meet the new demands placed upon them by budget cuts and declining enrollment.^[1] Along with the school closures, an estimated 80 teachers lost their positions.^[2]
