Seattle Public Schools abandon planned school closures amid parent and community pushback.

Seattle Public Schools (SPS) has withdrawn its plan to close four schools for the 2025-26 school year, following strong opposition from parents and community feedback. The closures were intended to save $5.5 million but were scrapped to avoid community division. Instead, SPS will seek financial stability through legislative support and potential levy renewals, aiming to address the district's budget shortfall in a more collaborative way.
