Show Notes
Parents in San José challenge school districts plan to close five elementary schools, claiming it disproportionately affects low-income students and kids of color. The school board faces a crucial vote today. Enrollment has dropped by 20% since 2017, leading to under-enrolled schools. District leaders aim to maintain programs by closing some schools. Parents argue the process lacks community input and propose better programs instead of shutdowns. The districts selection criteria include low enrollment and special needs. A legal complaint has been filed, triggering an investigation. Parents are prepared for further action if the board approves the plan.
