After more than six hours of public debate, the Panel for Educational Policy voted on Tuesday to close four schools in the Bronx along with other six institutions in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
The Department of Education says that the School for Community Research and Learning, the Urban Assembly Academy for History and Citizenship for Young Men, the New Day Academy and Monroe Academy for Business/Law High School consistently performed poorly on progress reports.
On Thursday, seven other schools in the Borough will face a vote. (News 12)
