Washington state's biggest school district is considering shuttering some schools and laying off staff in the near future as enrollment rates continue to drop following the pandemic.
Seattle Public Schools officials floated the idea of "consolidating" schools during a workshop reported on by The Seattle Times. Funding for most school districts is tied to the number of students, so declines in enrollment will likely contribute to budget shortfalls.

Schools in Washington are for employing teachers, not for teaching studentsi
Good, hope they do and many more. I want to see these people on the street selling pencils.
Sounds like a good idea. Let’s Go Brandon! FJB!
What? Now the kids won’t be able to NOT learn math in a school atmosphere while dodging advances and indoctrination by lgbtq educators, and dodging gang members between classes in the hallways and bathrooms!
Not one woked teacher will be fired.
Parents don’t appreciate schools grooming their children and brainwashing them into racists.
It’s not the pandemic that drove families out of Portland
Public schools are for people who don’t care about education. The best of them are still crap. Their entire teaching model is designed to reduce work by teachers and administrators and teach to test scores.
“Not one woked teacher will be fired.”

Nor a single school administrator.
Across Lake Washington in a saner part of King County, the Bellevue school district is doing the same thing. Consolidating 3 elementary schools. https://mynorthwest.com/3808009/rally-bellevue-school-consolidation/
IMHO, that’s a good start. These parents rather than protesting the consolidation, should be talking to the parents that took their kids out of these public cesspools and join the homeschool movement.
Homeschooling is the only option for a solid education, in this state currently, and even in a big liberal areas like Seattle/Bellevue there are homeschooling cooperatives and support groups that are springing up all the time. These are valuable to parents who can only be mom or dad rather than a teacher (even though most who subscribe to that line of thinking sells themselves short because parents are teachers, the best ones.)
School districts disticts running short of money cans start by ditching the guidance counselors, the non-academic courses, the sex indoctrinaion programs, and the spectator sports programs that turn us into spectators. We built a nation without this garbage.
Exactly right! It has nothing to do with a disease. Its about a disaster in the classrooms.
The system serves the “educators”, not the students.
Parents do not want to send their kids to these woke schools.
Just wait for the next school bond proposal.
Enrollment is down. We must raise taxes!
Enrollment is up. We must raise taxes!
Ebbing enrollment isn’t limited to blue states that had strict pandemic closures and restrictions — Texas officials are projecting a 2.2% decline over the next four years, pointing to declining birth rates as the cause.

The Austin Independent School District released a plan Thursday to close 12 schools and move those students to other campuses due to undercapacity (no students) at those 12 schools.

Hannah Ray Lambert needs to rewrite her article after someone slaps her up side her head with a cold towel. Austin closed 12 schools in 2021 due to Liberalism......PERIOD!! These closings were in the making a long time before anybody even heard of the Covid fraud. No parent in their right mind would send a kid to AISD....my former school district......a LONG time ago.
Never fear, there is nearly unlimited room for spontaneous campsites all around Seattle, Portland and San Francisco; just watch where you step.
Bus the illegal aliens to these places. They have lots of kids and are overwhelming the border schools.
I know of a family that has a 12 and 1 year old that are doing state accredited online school. They love it.
Excuse me. Fentanyl is not spelled “pencils”.
