Keep Langston Hughes open!
The New Park Heights Community Development Corporation, Inc. joins Neighborhoods United and several elected officials representing the Park Heights Community, to keep Langston Hughes Elementary School open. Our young children will be put in harms way in traveling almost a full mile to walk to another school. We have an obligation to protect our children and families in our community.

Why is this important?
This petition is started to save our school by gathering signatures of supporters as we prepare for a potential Federal review of the Jacob's Report, the basis used by the State legislature in the bill appropriating gambling revenue to support school construction in Baltimore City. The fiscal note used no basis other than summarily closing 26 Baltimore City Schools.
