Empty Baltimore building will become a school again
Southwestern High School, a huge former school campus in Baltimore, will become a public boarding school for up to 400 disadvantaged students under a lease agreement approved by the city. The nonprofit SEED Foundation, which runs a similar school in Washington, D.C., hopes to open the Baltimore school with 80 students in 2008. The students, in grades six through 12, will live on campus during the week and receive college preparatory coursework and counseling.
