Seattle Public Schools families are speaking out following the district's announcement proposing to close and consolidate schools for the 2025-2026 school year.
Brian Massey’s fourth-grade student attends John Rogers Elementary School, which will absorb students from Sacajawea Elementary School under Superintendent Dr. Brent Jones’SPS releases proposal for school closures to address $94M budget deficit
The consolidation plans would shutter four campuses and transfer hundreds of students to new schools in an effort to save roughly $5 million in operating costs. “While the $5 million from school consolidations may not seem like a lot of money in a $1.2 billion budget, every year when we find ourselves with a deficit it becomes more and more painful to cut $5 million,” Jones stated.
