Boston Cutting Property Deals with Charters as Charters Recruit Top Scorers and Private School Students
What is that smell wafting up over the Charles River this morning? Oh, it's the stench of corruption as a whole bunch of public schools are shuttered, kids are dispersed, communities blown up, and fat cats in in the corporate foundations get ready to carve up the empty school properties for their corporate welfare charter schools.
After I reported that Roger Clap Elementary School would be spared from closure, the Boston Public Schools “Redesign” site appeared to be updated with a list of proposed closures and mergers. And now, about 10 minutes later, the list is gone.
We were able to grab the list before it disappeared. Here it is:
- Merge Lee Academy with Lee Elementary, create a K-8
Lee Academy would become a K0-1 program and Lee Elementary would operate a Grade 2-8 program. Both would exist in the same building as they do today.
