District-wide (updated October 4, 2026)

Measure / Scenario A / Scenario B / Status Quo

Schools or sites that would close: 14 / 11 / 0

Students who would change schools: 27% / 24% / 0%

Schools above the sustainability threshold: 67% / 57% / 26%

Students attending a school above the threshold: 80% / 73% / 48%

Students experiencing poverty in sustainable schools: 81% / 74% / 42%

Historically underserved students in sustainable schools: 83% / 78% / 46%

Students receiving special education services in sustainable schools: 77% / 69% / 41%

Multilingual learners in sustainable schools: 87% / 77% / 44%

Thresholds: K–5 360 students; K–8 and middle school 500; high school 1,100.

Status quo text: "No schools close and no boundaries change. Enrollment keeps declining, so more schools fall below the size needed to staff a full program. About 48% of students will attend a sustainable school."

Scenario A text as printed: "A smaller set of the same moves brings more than half of schools up to a sustainable size. About 73% of students will attend a sustainable school."

Scenario B text as printed: "Closures, program moves, and boundary changes bring about two thirds of schools up to a sustainable size. About 80% of students will attend a sustainable school."

[Note: the two descriptions appear swapped in PPS's own document — the table gives Scenario A 80% and two thirds, Scenario B 73% and 57%.]

Guiding principles printed: Well-resourced schools (consistent access to strong academic programming across PPS); Safe and healthy learning environments (facilities that support student safety, wellness, and long-term sustainability); Educational options (a strong network of neighborhood schools balanced with educational options); PPS equity lens (centering students most impacted by inequities in every decision).
