Well, there you have it!! Major success by a majority of the schools we are pleased to work with. As De Wayne Wickham writes in today's USA Today, "these decisions (to close schools) signal an indifference to the damage such policy decisions will have on neighborhoods that will be turned into public school deserts."
Success...sorry, we are closing you down, you're done!
