The Virginia School for the Deaf, Blind and Multi-Disabled in Hampton will close at the end of June.

The state Board of Education voted Wednesday to end state-operated programs at the school, including residential and day-program services on June 30. State education spokesman Charles Pyle said 14 students are enrolled.

The decision is part of a consolidation of the Hampton school and the Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind in Staunton. The General Assembly stipulated during the 2008 session that no funds will be available for construction or renovation in Staunton until the Hampton program shut down.

The Hampton campus will become surplus state property as of July 1, 2009.
