(Pittsburgh, PA) The Pittsburgh Public Schools Board of Directors is taking a fresh look at the proposed plan to close nine schools in the Pittsburgh area called the “Future-Ready Facilities Plan.” That board voted 6-3 on November 25th, 2025 against this plan and they decided to reintroduce it for consideration last month, and this led to a lengthy discussion meeting from them on Tuesday. According to Gene Walker, the president of the Pittsburgh Public Schools Board of Directors, the discussions about this plan will continue in March and April and while an exact timeline to decide on it remains up in the air, Walker confirmed that his board hopes to decide on it before the end of the school year.
