Parents and students rallied outside Seattle Public Schools headquarters, demanding an alternative to school closures as the district faces a $104 million budget shortfall.

Hundreds of parents flooded the Seattle School Board meeting on Wednesday to speak out against proposed school closures.

More than 300 students and parents rallied outside Seattle Public Schools headquarters, asking for the board to say no to plans to potentially close more than 20 local schools.
