Seattle Public Schools is moving closer to deciding which 20 elementary schools will be closed for the 2025–2026 school year, as the district grapples with a $100 million budget deficit.Superintendent Brett Jones announced during Wednesday's board meeting that a live hub featuring well-resourced schools will be available on Sept. 9, allowing the community to voice their concerns from September through October. Preliminary recommendations will be presented at an October meeting.
The update comes after Superintendent Jones outlined two primary options to address the budget shortfall in July: making additional cuts to services and staff at all schools or enhancing student services and support by reducing the number of elementary schools. The district's declining enrollment, particularly since the pandemic, has been a significant issue.
