The decision to withhold the list of schools set for closure until September has caused even more frustration and anxiety among parents and community members.

Earlier this year, Seattle Public Schools announced a significant restructuring plan that could result in the closure of approximately 20 elementary schools. At the time of the announcement there was no list given, which left many parents frustrated and wondering if their child's school was under consideration for closure. And now, parents are learning they may have to wait until at least September to learn which schools will be affected.

He has also said the schools that remain open will be transformed into "well-resourced" institutions, designed to offer consistent academic and extracurricular programs, safer school layouts and increased support services."Our primary goal is to provide sustainable and equitable access to services and programs for all our students," Jones noted.
