by The Baltimore City School Board is planning to close six public schools in an effort to save on costs and reinvest in better buildings: Langston Hughes Elementary, Abbottston Elementary, Dr. Rayner Browne Academy, Northeast Middle, W.E.B. DuBois High, and Heritage High. The closures are part of the city’s “21st Century Buildings Plan” – a major renovation of the public school system aimed at updating school building infrastructure and improving learning environments – but have been largely met with public opposition. The school board is holding a final meeting on Tuesday, December 16th, for students, parents, and concerned residents who’d like to voice any last concerns/protests related to the closures.
