The Primary School, established by Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg to support underserved communities, will close its doors at the end of the 2025-2026 school year. The closure, described as a 'very difficult decision' by the school, comes without a specified reason. To assist affected families, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative plans to invest $50 million in local communities and offer resources for educational transition. The school served a diverse population, emphasizing health and education connections, but will now cease operations after primarily operating since 2016 and 2021 for different campuses.
