Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan announced the closure of The Primary School in East Palo Alto, affecting over 400 students. Established in 2016, the school aimed to combine education with health care and family support. The decision follows a meeting with families, and while no specific reason was given for the closure, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative expressed commitment to a supportive transition. Ravenswood School District's superintendent expressed gratitude for the school and readiness to integrate its effective elements into their community. The foundation plans a $50 million investment in regional education initiatives.
This was a very difficult decision, and we are committed to ensuring a thoughtful and supportive transition for students and families over the next year.
Over the next few months, we will be working closely with The Primary School to ensure a thoughtful and seamless transition for every child and family joining our Ravenswood community.
