Parents and faculty of Seattle Public Schools will soon learn which school buildings will close as the district works to fix a $100 million budget deficit.
Seattle Public Schools Superintendent Brent Jones announced that preliminary recommendations for which elementary schools face closures are expected in early October. Formal action would be taken in the following months.
The district is set to consolidate 70 elementary schools into approximately 50 K-5 sites, with 10 per region after the 2024-2025 school year. This is due to the district’s budget deficit that has resulted from weaker revenue streams and continually-decreasing enrollment.
Enrollment at Seattle Public Schools since the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to go down. The district had 49,197 students enrolled in the 2023-2024 school year. It is projected to decrease to 48,329 in the upcoming school year. That is about half of what it was in 1980, according to Jones. Despite this, the district still operates around the same number of school buildings.
According to the district, closing a school could save Seattle Public Schools between $750,000 to $2 million.
The district estimates that consolidating schools will save a total of approximately $30 million in order to tackle the $100 million deficit.
“While this may seem like a small portion, relatively speaking, it’s crucial because this deficit compounds over time if it’s not addressed,” Jones said in the school board meeting on Wednesday night. “Maintaining the status quo is simply not an option [and] without these changes we risk further cuts to essential services.” […]

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
