San Jose Unified has voted to close five elementary schools after a 20% drop in enrollment.

5 schools closed.
6,000 students gone.
And this is fiscal responsibility? At the same time, San Jose’s mayor, Matt Mahan, is running for governor on a platform of fiscal responsibility.

So the real question is this:
Is Mayor Matt Mahan holding the line on funding because it’s the right fiscal decision or is there a political incentive behind it?
