Last night, Pittsburgh Public Schools Superintendent Mark Roosevelt, announced a plan to close 20 city schools as both a cost cutting measure and a way to be serve the youth of Pittsburgh. this map shows the schools that will close or be relocated. I’m not sure what to think about the closing of the Morningside grade school (the one right across the street from our house). There are some in the neighborhood who don’t like it, and believe it brings the wrong sorts of kids into the neighborhood, but our jury is still out. I do know that an abandoned building isn’t likely to help the neighborhood much, either.
