VALLEJO, Calif. - The 7-11 Committee held its fourth and final meeting on Monday night, voting unanimously to approve its final report for the Vallejo City Unified School District (VCUSD) Board of Education. The report—which will be presented at the board’s regular meeting on Wednesday, August 20—includes recommended school closure rankings and the designation of four school sites as surplus.

Closure Ranking

Using enrollment data, facility assessments, and community feedback, the committee ranked schools in order of consideration for closure:

1. Lincoln Elementary
2. John Finney Education Complex
3. Pennycook Elementary*
4. Steffan Manor Elementary*
5. Cooper Elementary
6. Federal Terrace Elementary
7. Highland Elementary

The committee revised its earlier ranking, swapping Pennycook and Steffan Manor. This decision was made after considering Steffan Manor’s newer facilities and larger multi-purpose room, ensuring a comprehensive and fair ranking process.

Surplus Property Recommendations

To allow flexibility for future use, the committee recommends designating the following sites as surplus:

• Federal Terrace Elementary
• John Finney Education Complex
• Cooper Elementary
• Highland Elementary

A surplus designation would allow the board to lease, sell, or repurpose these properties.

Next Steps

The VCUSD Board of Education is expected to make final decisions on school closures and consolidations by December 2025, with changes taking effect in the 2026–27 school year.

All board meetings are open to the public and held at 6 p.m. at the VCUSD District Office Board Room, 665 Walnut Ave., Vallejo. Public comment is welcome.
