From The Baltimore Sun: The central office of the Baltimore city school system has received $500,000 in renovations, even as administrators decried the state of crumbling school buildings and sought funding to fix them. The biggest project was a $250,000 facelift of an executive suite for the district's chief of information technology, who says the remodeling work was done to impress job candidates and repair unsafe conditions. Some school officials say the renovations were necessary upgrades, but city schools CEO Andrés Alonso called the executive suite remodeling a bad judgment call.
