Enrollment down 10,000 (!), San Francisco plans to close schools

Jill Tucker:

District officials have concluded that San Francisco has more public schools than it needs and if all goes as planned, there will be fewer by the fall of 2025, they told the Chronicle.

What parents and educators have long feared is now being said out loud: Schools are going to close.

San Francisco Unified School District Superintendent Matt Wayne outlined his plan for school closures at the annual school planning summit Saturday, but spoke to the Chronicle in advance to explain his reasoning and what will happen in the coming months.
