[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. So this one is gone (200+ kids) and Latin Cooper is also moving out of their temporary space in Edgewood. This should make a big difference in area traffic around the Franklin St.Bridge.

I wonder if any school wants the Hope building. [/quote]

That's an interesting point, but three charters closing essentially this school year, how could anyone justify a new school? I'd bet the city would take it back -- but I guess that also depends on who actually owns the building. Who did Hope lease the building from?[/quote]

The city does not own it. It's a private landlord, who refused to renegotiate the lease and now has no tenant until it gets a new one.

I think the unstated rationale for new charters would be that the PCSB doesn't want to lose market share. But also, they assess demand by grade level and  intended location, so the closure of, say, Eagle and I Dream, both preschool and lower elementary only, doesn't have much bearing on for example a proposal for a new high school on the opposite side of the city.
