Erica Green, education reporter for The Sun, talks about Renaissance Academy, the last-resort high school for at-risk youth in West Baltimore where a student was stabbed to death in a classroom last year. In addition, two other Renaissance students were killed within weeks of each other during the winter months. Now the U.S. Department of Education has granted the school $350,000 to enhance its highly-praised mentorship program and to help faculty establish and maintain a safe learning environment. Green talks about the school, the violence, last spring’s graduation and Renaissance’s determined principal, Nikkia Rowe.Links:http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/education/blog/bs-md-ci-renaissance-grant-20160906-story.htmlhttp://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/education/bs-md-ci-renaissance-graduation-20160604-story.htmlhttp://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/oped/bs-ed-renaissance-wolves-20160305-story.htmlhttp://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-city/bal-renaissance-academy-graduates-discuss-tragedy-and-triumph-20160603-premiumvideo.html
