Homeland Security half empty
As of today, the city school system reports, 249 students have left Homeland Security Academy, and 264 remain: 126 seniors and 138 underclassmen, mostly freshmen. For those 138, the deadline to transfer to another school has been extended to this Friday. No staff will be moved out until that point.
Perhaps not surprisingly, two schools with admissions requirements and vocational programs -- Carver and Edmondson -- were the most popular transfer options. Since no school is taking more than 20 kids, some of the students had to go for their second choice.
