"Philadelphia superintendent identifies schools he intends to close" by Kristen A. Graham

In this article "Philadelphia superintendent identifies schools he intends to close" talks about why closing schools is being considered. It is said that this is the largest reduction proposal. 17,000 students and 2,000 staffers will be affected by this change. After the action has taken transition thirty-seven buildings will close and that would be a saving of about $28 million. 22 elementary, 4 middle and 11 high schools would close. This would mean some schools would have to be put together. I think that is a bad idea because it would lead to nothing but more violence and it would be out of control. Hite's idea is to shut down the bad schools and move the students into better schools. He thinks that this would improve academics. I think that this could affect the good schools. The children from the bad schools could come over to the good schools and become a huge distraction. Also the closings would put a lot of staff out of work. Even though this situation has it negative effects, there are positive ones too. Giving away or selling buildings could help get money. A building like Shaw that is located in Southwest Philadelphia has only 193 students, but is able to hold 1,071 students. How could we make this move better for everyone?
