East Palo Alto Schools Set To Close Due To Declining Enrollment, Looming Budget
Elementary schools in the Ravenswood City School District are operating at half-capacity.
EAST PALO ALTO (KPIX 5) — Citing years of declining enrollment and a looming seven-figure budget deficit, the Ravenswood City School District in East Palo Alto is moving forward with plans to shut down two of its elementary schools and consolidating them with the remaining three elementary campuses.
All of the elementary schools within the district are operating at roughly half capacity, according to Superintendent Gina Sudaria, who has seen the student population steadily decrease since beginning her teaching career at Ravenswood in 1998.
