A public hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday on a controversial plan that would close nine Pittsburgh Public Schools buildings and reconfigure many others.
The plan calls for closing seven school buildings — the Student Achievement Center, Friendship PreK-5 (Montessori), Schiller 6-8, Manchester PreK-8, Fulton PreK-5, Miller PreK-5 and Woolslair PreK-5 — at the end of next school year.
Once renovations to Northview PreK-5 are complete, the district would close Spring Hill PreK-5 and Morrow at the end of the 2028-29 school year. Additionally, several schools would shift to different buildings and nearly all elementary-level magnet programs would be phased out.
The school board is expected to vote on the Future-Ready Facilities Plan at a 6:30 p.m. meeting Wednesday.
The plan has been under consideration for months. The board voted against it in November but decided in January to reconsider it. Last month, PPS administration repitched the plan to the board and the public.
