First public hearing held regarding the future of Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys
Parents, students and community members rallied at a Dec. 11 public hearing to urge Baltimore City Schools officials to keep Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys open, citing the school’s role in academic growth, mentorship and emotional support for Black boys.
