Brewerytown Sharswood Neighborhood Coalition

05/31/2026

When schools close and buildings sit vacant, communities feel it. Empty spaces can lead to illegal dumping, neglect, and disinvestment. Our member leader Melanie Silva explains the cycle of abandonment and dumping that affects schools in our city, and what impacts might come from the closures of 17 schools that the School District recently approved. Our neighborhoods deserve better -- it's time to put people over profits!
