San Leandro, CA – A private education campus in the East Bay is set to close its doors permanently, impacting dozens of employees and local families in the coming weeks.
According to a California WARN notice, The Primary School will shut down its San Leandro campus on June 12, 2026, affecting 147 employees. The closure marks a significant shift for the Alameda County community, where the school has served families with a focus on integrated education and health services.
The WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) filing indicates that the layoffs tied to the closure will be permanent. Employees were formally notified as part of the state’s requirement for advance notice in cases involving large-scale job losses.
The Primary School, known for its tuition-free model and emphasis on early childhood education, has not publicly detailed the specific reasons behind the closure. However, such decisions often stem from financial sustainability challenges, enrollment changes, or broader organizational restructuring.
For families in San Leandro and surrounding areas, the shutdown means finding alternative schooling options ahead of the summer transition. Local education officials have not yet announced any coordinated placement efforts, but similar closures typically prompt outreach from nearby districts and charter networks.
The impact also extends to the regional workforce, as nearly 150 employees—from educators to administrative staff—will be seeking new employment opportunities across the Bay Area.
As the June 12 closure date approaches, more details may emerge regarding transition support for both students and staff.
