The Seattle school district is facing declining enrollment and a growing budget shortfall.
Those issues are forcing Seattle Public Schools officials to consider consolidating some of its schools by the 2024-2025 school year.As school districts across the state face the same issues, the strategy may be gaining popularity, with saving money the biggest motivator.
An SPS spokesperson told KIRO 7 reporter Gwen Baumgardner, “There are no plans for school consolidation now. It is being discussed as a strategy that may be adopted for the ‘24-25 school year at the earliest. It would require board approval.”“We believe that consolidating into larger schools that have the resources they need is a good strategy, whether you have money problems or not,” said Seattle Public Schools Chief Operations Officer Fred Podesta.
