North Ave. school proposal
A few months ago, I reported that, with all the downsizing at North Avenue, Dr. Alonso wants to open a school in the building to operate alongside the administration.
Now, officials confirm that they are investigating the possibility of placing the new alternative middle school for overage students at the central office. They're still trying to figure out whether it would work logistically. The Rising Star Academy is scheduled to open when classes resume Aug. 25, serving 200 overage middle school students in the morning and 200 in the evening.

He he he... I would absolutely LOVE to be a fly on the wall if the kids go to school with the administrators... sounds FABULOUS, and I mean that sincerely!

I agree. (Maybe we could sell tickets to the "show" )

Everything is being copied from NY aren't there other ideas and ways that work?New York is not the finest school system in the USA.The New York City school system did this in 2002 as both a symbolic and cost-saving move, abandoning the old board of education building in Brooklyn in favor of a beautiful office space in the restored Tweed Courthouse in Manhattan.Baltimore is not NY and never will be people.But wouldn't be nice to have a POLY once again?
