Alonso to offer plan to close 5 schools for poor performance

January 23, 2010

City schools CEO Andrés Alonso will present a plan to close five schools to the city school board Tuesday night. After announcing the news at a state Board of Public Works meeting this week, Alonso told WBAL-TV that "we looked at our lowest-performing schools - our schools where the parents are choosing not to send their kids any longer." The school board would vote on the plan in late winter or early spring.
