Just weeks after announcing that Chandler Middle School on Brookland Park Boulevard will close, Richmond Public School officials say plans are in the works to move Community High School to the North Richmond school building. From the Richmond Times-Dispatch:
Richmond school officials say today they’ll recommend moving Community High School from its West End campus to the Chandler Middle School building in North Richmond.
Community High Principal Thomas Beatty said families and students were informed yesterday.
Richmond Superintendent of Schools Yvonne Brandon said she will recommend the move at the School Board’s scheduled meeting Monday. The school system recently announced it was closing Chandler after years of poor performance. Brandon said officials would like for the move to be made in time for 2009-2010 school year.
Officials have been examining whether Community should be moved because the enrollment is too small for a building that needs expensive renovations to bring it in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
