A New York investor came to town. Now a Northeast Baltimore school is in flux.

September 6, 2024
Captured in a metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia primary school, this photograph depicts a typical classroom scene, where an audience of school children were seated on the floor before a teacher at the front of the room, who was reading an illustrated storybook, during one of the scheduled classroom sessions. Assisting the instructor were two female students to her left, and a male student on her right, who was holding up the book, while the seated classmates were raising their hands to answer questions related to the story just read.

In April, two parents went to Yorkwood Elementary School principal Tonya Combs-Redd bearing some bad news. Rent hikes were expected at Dutch Village, an apartment complex where many students lived. Several families, they said, couldn’t afford to stay in the Northeast Baltimore neighborhood and would have to leave the school.
