Closing schools and charters: check the patterns on our map
Jan 26, 2010 11:55 AM
Most of the schools that the Department of Education has closed since 2003, and the 20 schools it is planning to close, are located in exactly the same neighborhoods where charter schools are opening--in the South Bronx, Central Brooklyn and Harlem. Coincidence or plan? See our interactive map: http://www.uft.org/news/issues/school_closings_map
Are schools being closed for sound academic reasons or because a charter operator is interested in the space?
