The Minneapolis schools superintendent is recommending phasing out North High Community High School.
Superintendent Bernadeia Johnson says enrollment has declined from about 1,100 students in 2004-2005 to 265 students currently.
Johnson says the small enrollment means the high school is the most expensive to operate at nearly $4,000 per student, compared with a district average of about $1,500.
The superintendent says if enough students don't enroll at North High, the district would close the school immediately.
The school board is expected to consider the recommendation Nov. 9.
