San Francisco school board to discuss future school closures

The San Francisco School Board on Tuesday will consider how it will decide which schools it needs to close next year. The district is facing a looming budget deficit, by one estimate, as much as $420 million in the next two years if it doesn't change the way it spends now. SFUSD has about 106 schools district-wide, but there are about 4,000 fewer students now than it had in 2017. The district expects to lose another 4,000 kids in the next decade.

Even so, the thought of any school closure is worrisome for parents:"That would be really stressful," said one parent of a 2nd grader at Lincoln Elementary. "She's been going to her school since kindergarten."Another parent told KTVU, "I think everybody's kind of suffering. Teachers, principals, everyone's having a hard time.
