PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Public Schools board is revisiting a plan to consolidate more than a dozen schools across the city.
Board members met Tuesday night to discuss the “Future Ready Plan” after previously voting down a similar proposal in November.

The previous version of the consolidation plan sought to close 12 schools across nine buildings. Now, board members are looking at where the proposal was lacking.
“There is a belief of the board that we have to do something,” said Gene Walker, director of the PPS board for District 9. “It makes sense for us to clarify where those missing items or insufficient items are and give the superintendent an opportunity to rectify that.”
The board is currently waiting for the superintendent to establish a formal timeline for the revised plan. Once that timeline is set, the board can meet again in March or April.
