On a recent broadcast, Lawrence Bell turned the spotlight on the Baltimore Collegiate School for Boys — a school that has spent 11 years building something real in this city. With a 90% high school graduation rate from Baltimore City public schools, the institution has proven it works. Now, it's fighting to stay open after the city school board voted to close it.
Edwin Avent, the school's CEO, spoke directly about what's at stake — not just for the school, but for the boys it has prepared for college year after year. The appeal is underway, but the clock is ticking.
Bell also raised pointed questions about the absence of support from Black elected officials, calling on the community to get involved and make their voices heard.
