That is unfortunate. From what I heard from parents whose kids attended MLC, it was a well liked program. I had three kids go through Lincoln, two of them did very well, but the youngest struggled and likely would have had a better high school experience at MLC. I wonder if PPS did enough to advertise the program. I have a-lot of respect for PPS, but it is a bit a sausage factory
As an MLC parent, I’m devastated. I still don’t have words, but incredibly angry that we weren’t given any opportunity to give input or advocate for our school. My alternative high school literally saved my life when every other school and system failed me. Now, many students like I was will not have an alternative so desperately needed and possibly life-saving. 💔
I too have a friend who graduated from MLC in the 70’s who greatly benefited from the program.
We are living in an age of rapidly increasing public expenditures and a struggling/ declining tax base. All of us are going to have to lower our expectations about the breadth of public entitlements, and our politicians will have to become fiscally disciplined and focus on basic infrastructure and public safety rather than their pie-in-the-sky schemes du jour. It’s simply the new reality.

Of course, the PPS will be lavishing $-millions on a weird building for the Black (oops--word's now expunged) Excellence Center.
