Levering to Close Next School Year

will close after this school year.

The School District of Philadelphia's School Reform Commission (SRC) voted 5-0 to close the school at 6000 Ridge Ave. It , which will move there from Mt. Airy.

"We have more infrastructure than what is needed, and the cost to maintain it is a cost to the classroom," SRC Commissioner Pedro Ramos said.

The school's current students, meanwhile, will be sent to other elementary and middle schools in the area.

We'll have a full story on the vote Friday morning.
