Clearfield campus closure request discussed in July

What happened

Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania asked to close its Clearfield campus at the end of the 2026–27 school year. The State Board discussed the request on July 9, 2026. The reviewed records do not establish a final decision.

Why it matters to families

A campus closure would change where affected students can continue their studies. The request concerns Clearfield, rather than every campus or school in Pennsylvania.

The evidence

The July 9 minutes say the university submitted an application to the Department of Education. The Secretary must consult the State Board before approving or denying it. The item was discussed; these minutes record no decision on the request. Later minutes needed to establish its outcome were not available in the reviewed corpus.
