The Pittsburgh Public Schools board is set to vote today on a plan to close nine schools.

The Pittsburgh Public Schools board is set to vote today on a plan to close nine schools, despite strong opposition from parents at last night’s meeting. Almost all speakers at Monday's meeting were against the plan, including Liz Dell the parent of a fourth grader at Liberty K-5. Billy Hileman with the Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers supports the closures. The school board is reportedly split on the consolidation plan.
