Baltimore School’s Fight to Stay Open

Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys is fighting for its future after its charter was denied renewal, sparking a passionate community protest outside City Hall. Despite serving just over 300 young Black males and boasting a 90% high school graduation and 50% college acceptance rate, the school board cited academic and financial concerns in their 6-4 vote. Supporters argue closing the school would be a devastating setback for these students. While a $1.96 million settlement from a broader charter funding deal offers some relief, it’s not enough to fix deep financial issues. With an appeal hearing set for August 7, hope remains alive for this vital institution. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
