Seattle School Board approves proposal to potentially close nearly 20 schools by 2026
The Seattle School Board unanimously approved a proposal on Wednesday that could lead to the closure of nearly 20 elementary schools throughout the district.
During the board meeting Wednesday night, Seattle Public Schools (SPS) proposed closing approximately 20 elementary schools, which could take effect as early as the 2025-26 school year. The proposal is aimed at curbing the district’s more than $100 million annual budget gap.
According to SPS, elementary schools were only at 65% capacity, and the new plan would increase the school utilization to 85%.
