New Bedford Public Schools has announced adjusted boundaries within the district to accommodate a new, state-mandated Commonwealth Alma del Mar charter school.
Mayor Jon Mitchell said the Mass. Teachers Association is 'wrong' about state law preventing the City from transferring the Kempton School to Alma del Mar.
The state of Massachusetts has the city of New Bedford in a box and the only answer is to go along with the limited and innovative expansion of Alma del Mar.
The memorandum of understanding between the City of New Bedford and a charter school has been signed, clearing another hurdle in the school's proposed expansion.
