SUMMARY: Three schools, including Key, Green, and Clausell Elementary, were removed from the list of 16 initially recommended for closure under a revised optimization plan presented by Superintendent Dr. Errick Greene to the school board. Other changes included the relocation of Wells APAC and Obama in 2025, and some merge plans being altered. Questions remain about the fate of principals and empty buildings. The district is confident in keeping fully-certified teachers based on existing vacancies, and plans to create a facilities repurposing committee to decide the future of the buildings, including demolition, selling or leasing, and repurposing. Concerns were expressed about the feasibility of these plans given the number of buildings affected.
