Board votes to close schools: Pair of complexes and an elementary to shut down this summer.
Byline: Sara Neufeld
Mar. 29--A divided Baltimore school board voted last night to shutter the Southwestern and Dr. Samuel L. Banks high school complexes and Elmer A. Henderson Elementary School this summer, the first among 16 school building closures planned over the next two years.
The votes came as the chairman of the committee that made the closure recommendations changed course and pleaded with the school board not to move Banks High to the campus of Thurgood Marshall Middle and High Schools. The chairman, Michael Carter, told the board that by voting for the proposal, "you truly don't have the best interest of my children at stake."
The board also approved a 10-year, $2.7 billion plan that calls for building 27 schools and shifting thousands of children from middle schools to buildings housing prekindergarten though eighth grade. That plan lists which school buildings would close in the coming years, though officials emphasized that none of those decisions is final.
