From The Baltimore Sun: Baltimore city school district CEO Andrés Alonso plans to close more than a dozen schools by 2014 in an effort to vacate underused and dilapidated buildings. The new plan, still in the preliminary stage, is aimed at making the system more efficient. The school system's infrastructure was built for 190,000 students, but now serves about 85,000, Alonso says. The district has about 200 school buildings, and more than a quarter of them have 250 students or fewer.
