The Vallejo City Unified School District voted to close two of their schools, relocate their charter, and approve $12.8 million in budget reductions, district officials announced Wednesday.
The Vallejo City Unified School District Board has voted to close two elementary schools, Beverly Hills and Vallejo Charter, due to financial constraints and declining enrollment. This decision, made during a meeting on March 9, 2023, aims to address a projected $10 million budget deficit. The closure will affect approximately 300 students, who will need to be redistributed to other schools within the district. The board's decision was influenced by the need to consolidate resources and manage the district's finances more effectively, amidst ongoing challenges like teacher shortages and aging infrastructure. The closures are part of a broader strategy to stabilize the district's finances, with the board also considering further consolidations in the future.
