Prince George’s County Public Schools narrowly voted Thursday to consolidate the district’s five alternative schools in Maryland.
The move comes amid protests from the community, with many begging the board to keep the schools open for at-risk students who struggle with traditional schools.
The allocation for Community Based Classroom in Bladensburg will be cut and students will be moved to the newly consolidated Tall Oaks or Croom high schools.
Schools CEO Monica Goldson said the move will expand services, give the students better resources and remove them from the state’s rating list.
