"We basically have enough money to last this year and then next year, and then we're done. We're bankrupt," Barbara told San José Spotlight. "We have to start looking at the criteria and what schools we can consolidate with the least amount of transitional upset."
"This is urgent," Barbara said. "It's the most difficult process any district can go through. No one wants their schools closed. But we're up against a wall right now and there's not much choice. Enrollment is going down."
"Closing schools has to be done with compassion and it's emotional for staff, parents and students. People will at least feel heard," he said. "They might not like the fact that their school's being impacted, but at least they'll understand we've done our homework to make these decisions."
