Operator Renewal Recommendation:

On January 14, 2025, the Baltimore City School of Board Commissioners voted to non-renew the operator of Southwest Baltimore Community School and keep the school open as a traditional school. This means the school will remain open as a traditional school for the 2025-26 school year and beyond. The process by which operator schools are reviewed is called operator renewal and is part of the district’s Annual Review of Schools. To learn about this decision or decisions for other schools, please visit the City Schools Annual Review of Schools webpage: https://www.baltimorecityschools.org/page/annual-review.
