San Jose Unified School District leaders face tough decisions on looming school closures.
The vote is scheduled for Thursday.
On Saturday, concerned parents and families marched from San Jose City Hall to SJUSD’s office for a special school board meeting, where the board continued to discuss closing several elementary schools.
San Jose Unified launched the Schools of Tomorrow initiative last year as a response to a decline in enrollment, letting the community know it could mean a reduced number of schools.
Under the plan, Empire Gardens, Lowell, Canoas, Terrell and Gardener elementary schools would close. Hammer Montessori would be relocated to the Gardener campus.
