San Jose's School Board Just Closed Five Elementary Schools . And Parents Are Furious

rjv |

The San Jose Unified School District board voted 3-2 on Thursday to close five elementary schools next school year, and honestly, the community is not taking it well. Hundreds of parents sat in tense silence as they waited for the board’s decision, then the room erupted with chants of “shame on you” when the results came down. It’s a pretty stark reminder of how these kinds of decisions impact real families in our area.
