Davisville, April 20, 2026: Look closer before deciding to close any Davis school, skeptics urge

With enrollment in Davis schools declining, the Davis school district is looking at shutting at least one elementary school. So far, two concepts have emerged — to close Patwin and possibly also Birch Lane — and to move programs and shift attendance boundaries. The School Board expects to decide in spring 2027, with any closure starting in fall 2028. 

Colleen Zern, a local attorney and UC Davis lecturer, is among the Davis parents opposing this idea. Today on Davisville she talks about process, the new-home development projects that people in Davis will vote on this year, the petition to form a citizens group to look at options to handle declining enrollment, and how she wants the district to proceed.
