Parents rally to save elementary schools from potential closures in Bellevue
Thousands of parents in the Bellevue School District are banding together to demand answers about the data being used by the district, leading it to say that three schools need to be closed.
“They kind of set it up like a hunger games,” mother Erika Navara told KOMO News Monday, in advance of the 4:00 p.m. rally outside district headquarters.
Navara's daughters are in first and fifth grade at Phantom Lake Elementary School, one of seven schools on the Bellevue School District's possible closure list.
“We felt like we’re being put against elementary schools to plead our case why we should be spared and then we all came together and said wait a minute this makes no sense why we're even playing this game,” said Navara.
