Blue State Blues: Seattle Could Shutter 20 Elementary Schools Due to Budget Constraints
12th May 2024
When happens when your city pisses away all of your tax revenue on trying to feed, shelter and coddle activists and homeless people? You wind up having to make budget cuts. And, in Seattle, those cuts could be coming in the form of closing up to 20 elementary schools.
The district’s budget deficit has reached more than $100 million, according to new reporting from MYNorthwest.
And Superintendent Brent Jones’ proposal for ‘Well-Resourced Schools’ might lead to the shutdown of over a quarter of the district’s 73 elementary schools, the report says.
