Buzz: Lincoln Park on chopping black

   March 14, 2011

Another school in an American-American neighborhood is up for closure–Lincoln Park Elementary. If the School Superintendent does recommend it and the school board approves, Lincoln Park will be the fourth closed school with a majority minority student population:

Minority Student Percentage (2009-10 school year)
Lincoln Park: 93.2
Allie Yniestra: 78.5
Hallmark: 91.8
Spencer Bibbs: 94.6

What will the School Superintendent do with these abandoned schools? Sale to highest bidders?

This is becoming an issue–whether the School Board recognizes it or not.
