(DNAINFO)  Camille Bautista | December 15, 2015 — The city’s Department of Education plans to shutter three under-performing schools, citing low enrollment and ongoing challenges in improving academic achievement, officials announced Monday.

Closing two traditional middle schools and one high school — all in Brooklyn — would be a first for Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration, which has pushed to turn around struggling schools through the city’s “Renewal” program instead of shuttering them.

The DOE is proposing to close two Renewal Schools — Peace Academy Middle School and Foundations Academy High School — along with The School for the Urban Environment by the end of the 2015-2016 school year.
