And empty school spaces can be turned into more open ended community spaces that serve the city even more. Creating maker spaces, continuing ed classrooms (there's a huge shortage of public spaces for teaching in Somerville!), and even funky things like Sprout, Parts and Crafts, and perhaps non-profit incubators.)
I don't want THESE people to run THIS school with the money that should SERVE EVERYONE. I want more options, but I want them to not be one of those for-profit evil charter schools companies AND not to be something else that strikes me as equally damaging to our community.
