Private school in Owings Mills, Md., will close

From The Baltimore Sun: Ruxton Country School in Owings Mills, Md., will be closing its doors at the end of this week because of financial problems and will relinquish its property to Jemicy School, which purchased it in March. The agreement between the schools stated that Jemicy, a Baltimore County private school serving children with language-based learning challenges, would operate Ruxton through the 2009-2010 school year if Ruxton had an enrollment of 85 students. But Ruxton was able to fill only 35 to 45 spots for the 2009-2010 school year.
