Zuckerberg's organization will close The Primary School

Mark Zuckerberg's charitable organization is closing The Primary School, a free private school, leaving families "dumbfounded" and without explanation. The school served low-income families in San Leandro and East Palo Alto, providing free education, medical, and mental health services. The school, co-founded by Priscilla Chan, was set to close at the end of the 2025-2026 school year, impacting roughly 550 students. Parents were reportedly given no reason for the closure, expressing shock and concern about their children's future. The Primary School's closure follows Meta's termination of its DEI programs, raising questions about the organization's commitment to its social justice mission. The school's senior strategy manager declined to comment on the reasons for the closure.
