Laiah Collins, 4, center, works on artworks during a class at Chalmers Elementary school in Chicago, Wednesday, July 13, 2022. America's big cities are seeing their schools shrink, with more and more of their schools serving small numbers of students.

And as federal funds dry up and enrollment falls, it may not be enough to prevent districts from closing schools.
