I'd like to point out that this important board meeting was held on the first night of Passover, when Jewish families would not be able to attend. I understand this was a regularly scheduled board meeting but they should have moved this discussion to another date.

Here's my guess on the decision to close Bessie Rhodes rather than move the school into another building as was previously suggested by Omar Salem: Since a large fraction of Bessie Rhodes students are from the 5th ward, if Bessie Rhodes stays open and those students stay at Bessie Rhodes, there won't be enough students for the 5th ward school. Of course, the board can't say that part out loud. Is that what's going on?
