In the event of a closure, what happens to families? I argue that families should advocate for priority choice placements and for comprehensive rezoning for long-term stability.

When a school is closed, what happens to the building? On what timeframe? What forces work against the idea of playgrounds remaining open to public access?

What does it mean when closure proposals are justified with arguments about increased resources? What resources? How might they increase?

What details matter when estimating the savings that a school closure proposal might yield? How can a community assess the quality of the district’s projections?

With school closure announcements likely coming soon, I’m sharing a guide to evaluating closure proposals. How should we think about savings? What happens to the buildings? To families?

What are the sources of our community power? What is our leverage in a closure situation? We have more of both than you might think!

If Sac is shut down, I want our families to get a future better than the one we’re losing. I want the building to be maintained and useful. And I want to help other neighborhood schools avoid this fate.

The superintendent and board discussed school mergers at a board retreat on June 13. If closures are coming to SPS, Sac is especially vulnerable. Here’s why.

The introduction of SaferWatch to the SPS community raises questions about privacy, law enforcement surveillance, security, and costs.

From SPS protocols to ICE’s legal rights & restrictions on school grounds, here’s what you should know about potential ICE interactions at SPS.
