More than a dozen schools would be closed, relocated or consolidated next year under a plan being recommended by a San Diego Unified School District committee.
The plan calls for Crawford High School to break up its four small academies and revert to traditional comprehensive school status.
The recommendation from the district’s school realignment/closure committee will be presented to the district’s board on Tuesday, with a formal vote possibly occurring in December, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
District officials have said they are facing a deficit of up to $118 million in next year’s $1.057 billion operating budget. The district stands to save $500,000 per campus under the recommendation released Thursday, the newspaper reported.
