Thanks for the context. Why would certain board members (which ones?) specifically want to see Orrington closed? Am not familiar with the opposition to it

They view Orrington as taking resources away from black and brown kids, since it is the most wealthy and white school in the District. I shouldn't name names, since I don't have public statements, though. Just a hunch.

Please when talking about children could we not describe them as тАЬblack, brown and wealthy whiteтАЭ. ThatтАЩs how we got into this mess. They are children who need to be educated.
