Fate of three underperforming Queens schools will be decided in early 2010:
"Several Queens schools may be in hot water after failing to make the grade on the city's annual progress reports.
The city is considering closing Beach Channel High School in Rockaway Park; the Business, Computer Applications and Entrepreneurship High School in Cambria Heights and Jamaica High School, after they received D's on the reports released last week. Other schools may also be under consideration.
'We review all low-performing schools for closure,' said Education Department spokesman William Havemann. 'But the progress report is not the only factor to be considered.'"
