After meeting for more than four hours, the Baltimore City school board voted to close five district schools Tuesday night.

The closure list includes charter schools like Monarch Academy that students and staff have been rallying to save.

The Board of Education voted 6 to 3 to close Monarch Academy.

Passionate parents and educators packed the room to plead their case for their school but sadly, it wasn’t enough.
