| | equilibrar las inscripciones entre sus todos sus centros educativos o cerrar uno de ellos | Explanation:
In context, I think this is a suitable way to handle it. With the part just before the phrase in the question, it would go something like this:
"el Distrito dispone de suficiente capacidad/espacio para poder equilibrar las inscripciones (de alumnos) entre todos sus centros educativos o cerrar uno de ellos.
Since "District" has already been mentioned, I think "todos sus" is enough to cover "district-wide", and avoids a clumsy repetition of "distrito". Similarly, since my suggested version includes the term "centros educativos" in the translation of "enrollment", there is no need to repeat it at the end, for "closure of a school".
I think the sentence works more neatly if we convert the nouns of the original into verbs.
"Centro educativo" is one possibility for "school"; it is standard in Europe but also used in America:
"El Centro Educativo Privado Verdad y Vida, nació en el año 2005 como sucesión de la Escuela Privada New York, bajo el liderazgo de un grupo de norteamericanos"

However, you could use "centro escolar", "centro de enseñanza", or just "escuela".
