The Board of Directors at Nurses Middle College Charter School in Rensselaer will meet today (March 24) to decide whether the school will close at the end of the current academic year. The school has faced declining enrollment, with only 70 students currently attending ninth and tenth grades.
The meeting, scheduled for 5 p.m. at the school's Washington Avenue campus, is open to the public. According to Spectrum News, the board is considering a resolution to close the school due to the challenges in supporting its programs with the current enrollment numbers.
The decision comes amid broader discussions about the role of education in the community and the challenges faced by educational institutions. The board's resolution aims to ensure an orderly wind-down of operations if the school is closed.
