Pittsburgh Public Schools (PPS) is expected to vote tonight on a plan which would close 12 schools and nine buildings, consolidate many more, phase out elementary-level magnet programs and create many programmatic changes.

Last night the sidewalk outside the district’s administration building echoed with chants of “Save our schools” as dozens of students, parents and community members gathered to rally against the district’s plan to close and consolidate schools.

The rally was organized by advocacy group 412 Justice, and was followed by a public hearing at which more than 90 speakers had signed up to discuss the Future-Ready Facilities Plan.

“Do not go with this flawed plan,” said 412 Justice Special Education Organizer Paulette Foster. “Do not go with the instrumental information that has been given to you that makes no sense to those who are impacted by these decisions.”

The district’s total number of schools would drop from 57 to 45.
