PITTSBURGH — A proposal to reconfigure the Pittsburgh Public Schools District has failed.
At a school board meeting on Tuesday night, the board voted against the plan 6-3.
The district was considering closing 12 schools in nine buildings and moving thousands of students with the goal of balancing enrollment.
Officials said it would have made every school 75-85% full.
Parents have weighed in at multiple public hearings.
Most recently, a rally was held against the plan on Monday night.
