“City policy prohibits the selling of unused school buildings to many private and charter schools. Even for those few buildings that MPS is willing to sell, the City has refused to sell them to the most likely buyers. According to express City policy, private schools in the choice program and select charter schools are not allowed to buy unused school buildings. Selling empty school buildings to these schools would immediately turn blighted buildings into fully-functional educational institutions.”
