This week Baltimore City Public Schools unveiled five newly-renovated school buildings under the 21st Century Schools program. With this initiative, the ACLU of Maryland, with help from OSI planning and implementation grants, worked tirelessly for years – along with Baltimore Education Coalition (another OSI-Baltimore grantee), BUILD, Strong City Baltimore and many other groups – advocating on behalf of Baltimore City public school children, whose aging school facilities had been badly in need of renovation for decades.
The five buildings opening are: Pimlico Elementary/Middle, Forest Park High, Arundel Elementary/Middle, Cherry Hill Elementary/Middle and the Robert Poole Building, home to the Academy for College and Career Exploration and Independence High.
