The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative has decided to shut down two tuition-free private schools established in 2016 for low-income students, providing no explanation. Despite the closure, they will invest $50 million to facilitate students' transitions to other schools. The Primary School, located in East Palo Alto and San Leandro, has primarily catered to Black and brown students. The closure announcement emphasized a difficult decision, and the Initiative promised to support the students and families affected over the coming years, although the rationale behind the closure remains unclear, sparking speculation among the tech community.
