IBE students, protesting in the rain
Larry Jackson, a senior at Homeland Security Academy and budding photographer headed to MICA, took this photo of Wednesday's protest outside the Walbrook complex. Students were rallying against plans to move the the Institute of Business and Entrepreneurship to the Lemmel building next year. As Homeland Security closes, the Walbrook building would be shut down for a year and reconfigured to house two new single-gender schools (one boys, one girls) starting in 2010.

I commend these students' civic engagement. I do hope, though, that they're being provided all the relevant information about the move. If the Board does approve the reconfiguration, I hope even more so that administrators and central work hard to invest students in the new opportunities that will come with their transition.
