Under the consolidation plan, Thurgood Marshall and Reeves middle schools would close.

In a committee's preferred plan, Jefferson students would be pushed into Thurgood Marshall Middle School, and Reeves students would be pushed into Washington Middle.OLYMPIA, Wash. — School district leaders in Washington are tightening their belts amid declining enrollment and shifts to education funding.

The committee has not made its official recommendation to the board yet, but it has established its preferred scenario: Jefferson Middle School would close, and students would be consolidated into Thurgood Marshall Middle School. Plus, Reeves Middle School would close, and students would be pushed into Washington Middle School."You're talking about an hour to two-hour bus ride," said Hinchcliffe.

Under the preferred plan, L.P. Brown Elementary School would close, too, because its more than 300 students could then instead go to Hansen Elementary. Hansen is already a pipeline for Thurgood Marshall Middle School.
