The Pittsburgh Public Schools board voted last night against a plan calling for wide-ranging changes including closing nine buildings. On Tuesday, the board voted 6-3 against the district's Future-Ready Facilities Plan, which had been years in the making and would have reorganized the district. A motion to table a decision failed 5-4, leading to the final decision. Superintendent Dr. Wayne Walters tells KDKA Radio's Rob Taylor he felt the plan showed how it would benefit the community. The vote came after nearly 100 parents and community members spoke out against the plan, calling it rushed and unfair to students.
