Buffalo school officials have halted plans to close two schools following strong community opposition.

WHY IT MATTERS: Keeping the schools open maintains stability for students and families while preserving important neighborhood institutions.

Buffalo Public Schools officials announced that plans to close PS 3 and PS 90 will not move forward following strong community opposition. The decision came after months of feedback from parents, teachers, and residents.

The closures were initially proposed as part of cost-cutting measures to address budget challenges. However, many argued that the schools serve as vital community anchors.

District leadership stated that an alternative plan will be developed, including hiring a consultant to review long-term operations and financial strategies.

The move signals a shift toward more community-driven decision-making within the district.
