San Francisco proposed eliminating 9% of its public schools as declining enrollment and the expiration of pandemic-era relief funds fuel a yawning budget deficit.
Eleven of the district’s 121 schools will be closed or merged with other locations, according to a preliminary list released late Tuesday. The district, which has already slashed its payroll and reduced funding for school supplies, said the list would be finalized next month and then go to a vote by the school board.
