Seattle kids deserve fully funded schools
Seattle Public Schools projects that it will face deficits at or around $100 million dollars in each of the next four years. They also project declining elementary school enrollment in the coming years. On September 11, 2024, the district announced an online hub that shares two proposed school closure options. Based on these options at least 17 schools will be closed and boundaries across the district redrawn.
These closures will only make a small dent in the budget deficit. This plan isn’t good enough. We must demand better for Seattle’s kids.
