A pair of tuition-free schools started by Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan will close this year, and it’s not clear why

• A pair of tuition-free schools started by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative will close at the end of this school year. The Primary School, which operates both locations, did not give a reason for the closure. Mark Zuckerberg has become increasingly close with Donald Trump, who has cracked down on DEI programs in schools and government.

In 2016, the foundation started by Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan launched a pair of tuition-free schools—one elementary, one middle—for low-income students.
