Listen "E43 - Seattle School Closures, Past and Present"
Episode Synopsis
This is a video! See the video here!In 2005, Seattle Public Schools was projecting falling enrollment, and over the ensuing years, 11 schools were closed. But it turned out that the projections were wrong, and SPS needed to reopen most of the buildings. New Seattle Hall Pass contributor Dawson Nichols spoke to four people who were there - Kay Smith-Blum, Leslie Harris, Sue Peters, and Dora Taylor. Note that these interviews were recorded before the June 10 school board meeting had been moved to June 26.See our very extensive Show Notes for lots more information.Disclaimer: Seattle Hall Pass features a variety of voices.
