San Francisco Unified School District is repurposing a vacant Chinatown school to serve special education students. - The Edwin and Anita Lee Newcomer School has been empty for nearly two years.
- In October, 16 special education students will move into two classrooms, with 16 more joining in 2027-2028. - The move will save SFUSD $3 million by reducing costly busing to private schools.
- District staff are still determining which students will be placed in the new program.
