In Blow to Bloomberg, City Must Keep 19 Failing Schools Open

In Blow to Bloomberg, City Must Keep 19 Failing Schools Open: "Because many eighth graders assumed the schools would be closed and the Education Department discouraged them from attending the schools, few applied. Some of the schools could begin September with just a few dozen freshmen. School officials said they expected enrollment to grow with students who move into the city, but the number will still likely be far smaller than in past years."

This sounds like Peabody, a bit. The school is going to close in a year. So, why start at Peabody in the fall of 2010 only to find another school in the fall of 2011 as a sophomore?
