Two Littleton schools to close at end of year
Littleton Public Schools, which will close two elementary schools at the end of this year, faces tough economic times for years to come, officials said Friday.
The board of education voted Friday morning to close Ames and Whitman elementary schools and serve the students at other schools.

Enrollment is declining because residents are staying in their homes past their childbearing years, officials said, adding the district has only small pockets of developable land.
