Pittsburgh Public Schools to hear public input on proposed closures

A public hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday on a controversial plan that would close nine Pittsburgh Public School buildings and reconfigure many others.

If approved, 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 re-pitched the plan to the board and the public.
