School officials will recommend moving Richmond Community to Chandler building
Richmond school officials say today they’ll recommend moving Community High School from its West End campus to the Chandler Middle School building in North Richmond.
Community High Principal Thomas Beatty said families and students were informed yesterday.
Richmond Superintendent of Schools Yvonne Brandon said she will recommend the move at the School Board’s scheduled meeting Monday. The school system recently announced it was closing Chandler after years of poor performance. Brandon said officials would like for the move to be made in time for 2009-2010 school year.
Officials have been examining whether Community should be moved because the enrollment is too small for a building that needs expensive renovations to bring it in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

It’s on the corner of Libbie and Patterson
it’s a big old building that obviously needs some work- just drive by. If they can run it in the Chandler building at a lesser cost… go for it.
Can we flesh out this story a bit more with some pertinent facts? Exactly WHERE is “Community High School” and it’s “West End campus” which apparently is the current location of this unnamed “building that needs expensive renovations”...?
