Ahead of today’s scheduled 5 p.m. announcement, Mission Local has obtained the list of the San Francisco public schools that meet the district’s criteria for merger or closure. Three schools will potentially close, eight will potentially merge with another school and two schools may become “welcoming schools” for a closed school. The list follows:
- El Dorado is proposed to merge with Visitacion Valley with students moving to the Visitacion Valley campus;
- Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy is proposed to merge with Sanchez Elementary with the campus being repurposed as an early education center;

Wayne’s scheduled 5 p.m. announcement precedes a 6 p.m. Board of Education meeting. A “virtual town hall” is scheduled for Thursday at 5:30 p.m.
The schools on today’s preliminary list meet the district’s criteria to potentially be merged or closed, based upon much-maligned surveys and low enrollment totals.
The final list of schools to be closed will be forwarded to the Board of Education on Nov. 12 and up for a vote on Dec. 10.
