flag Elkhart schools plan to consolidate due to funding cuts and declining enrollment, starting in 2026.

flag Elkhart Community Schools is launching a consolidation effort amid financial strain from Indiana’s Senate Enrolled Act 1, which will reduce state funding and require the district to share its operation fund starting in 2028. flag Superintendent Larry Huff cited underutilized facilities—only 58% of elementary classrooms in use—and declining enrollment, with 10,100 students across 29 buildings, far below a 17,000-student capacity. flag The district is pursuing a three-phase plan involving community input, policy development, and implementation from February to August 2026, evaluating school pairings and potential closures. flag No layoffs or school closures are planned yet, and all schools will continue operations. flag Updates will be shared through public meetings and online platforms.
